Not a respite from COVID, of course — that’s still going strong, unfortunately (over 1,600 deaths in SCC; over 47k deaths in CA; and over 490k deaths in the USA) — but a respite from distance learning this week. It’s this weird President’s Week break, what some call “ski week,” but I’ll gladly take a week off (most) Zoom meetings.

It’s bizarre to consider that in just a few weeks’ time, we’ll have officially been dealing with all this (waves arms around frantically) for an entire year. I’m trying not to think that far ahead right now and just stay in the right here, right now present.

Conveniently, that has also kinda been my MO for the past year as well.
