Summer 2021: STILL a Pandemic

If vaccinated, the CDC allowed for people to not wear masks from May to approximately July 20.

THEN

The Delta variant hit and sickened SOME vaccinated individuals, although most were mild sicknesses.

PANDEMIC of the Unvaccinnated was a new normal and hospitalizations and death surged!!

Just when excitement was building for normalcy, all changed in US. and at our home.

After Band Camp, Jess got a cold virus. Thankfully NOT COVID. All were on PINS & needles.

Here is link to random Summer photos. We spent a lot of time with our granddaughters. Carson spent July 27——Sep 9. He visited Tampa, FL from Aug 12–19.

Delta Variant: CoVid Pandemic of the Unvacinnatef

More disease in this 4th wave: mostly unvaccinated, but my friend Mary Ellen & 14 members of her vaccinated family got CoVid 19.

Feelings of anxious and doom and fear creeping in. Binge ate an entire sleeve of Oreos and felt ill and had headache: DUH!!!

Decision making and fear are apart of my everyday life.

Activities are constantly weighed as a risk vs benefit.

Listened to “Through-line” NPR PODCAST on

Two years ago to boost home WiFii. BEST DECISION OF the 2000’s!!! Turns out, his home office isn’t the contributor to dropped Virtual meetings. Children’s Mercy had to plan & implement daily changes immediately when the first child was diagnosed mid March and their IT has limitations. Telemedicine is now available as well as numerous other necessary changes. Brad is coping, evolving, striving, etc for peace & calm amidst an underlying psychosis of COVID 19 fear.

Stephanie: “I’ve prepared for this my entire life!!!”

Every household member has been mandated to watch:

(After spending a year in space, Scott Kelly is an expert on managing extreme isolation. The retired astronaut shares valuable advice with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on how to cope with social separation here on earth.)

Working toward group projects, group games and wellness is the next big step.

Brallison’s: Brandon facilitates teaching high school students from home, completing courses for his Masters of Education, and creates content for a virtual summer Star Wars course. Allison tends to nurturing living things in her garden and home. Eliza & Charlotte spread joy & hopefully not COVID 19!

RUNTER’s: Hunter, Rachel, & newborn TYNDALE moved home to Kansas so Hunter could finish CNA & BYU classes and sustain employment. They sub-let their BYU apartment. The couple is navigating quarantine, newborn, and other humans throughout their space. ZONE 1 is their address.

Carson: Returned home from New Mexico LDS mission after being in quarantine for 60 days ONLY to be quarantined in his home ZONE 2. He’s healthy, happy, energized to be around his adorable nieces & nephew!! Hopefully, his previous employer will allow him to return.

Jessica: Finishing her last week of virtual High School as a freshman has been ever-evolving with the many changes to her living arrangements. She is a committed, intelligent, helpful, & conscientious student which benefits all whom associate with her. Summer: ZERO plans but to thrive, learn, grow and solve communal living problems from her ZONE 3 room.
