3. Absolutely!! Still not eating indoors at restaurants.

I've made it thus far and kept my 86 year old mother with dementia safe, 7wo7rees safe (worked from home since 3/20) and me.

Well now, all bets off. Mr.7wo7rees left 1st week of June, reports coming in of many hours spent at a Poker Club....
My 86 year old mother I had to place in memory care facility a couple of weeks ago.

Me well, I felt pretty ok till this morning. I had to go in person to get my DL renewed. I texted a good friend, if I get Covid now, it is because of this place...... fingers crossed for us all.
(Not so much the guy hanging out in poker club).

Take care everyone! More and more fully vaxxed and boosted are being felled every darn day. I talk to them. They are working from home remotely. Nurses, techs, assistants, doctors. Same with restaurant industry. Short staffed and price increases are crushing them. And with price increases people aren't eating out so much.......

And just don't even get me started on this heat wave and drought that Texas is enduring with no end in sight. No reliable grid to provide energy but costs have been passed on to consumers and record profits are being posted up.

So yeah, be careful everyone. Buckle up. Stay safe.
I fear it is about to get very difficult again.
