It’s Been Two Years ..

My name is Michael, and it has been 306 days since my last blog post.

But, here I am. When I left off, I had just received my second shot in “Got my Second! | OpsanBlog“. I got my third in December .. from Costco, of all places.

With that said, so bloody much has changed:

• Delta Surge
• Omicron Variant
• Mandates and mishaps
• Cases and Counts
• Red versus Blue
• East versus West (dry)
• Midwest
• The Courts
• Nonsense

Where to begin / continue? We went remote on March 12, 2020 .. it’s been two years since I:

• Have been in my office. I fear the two-year-old ham sandwich lurking therein. Our offices are ‘open’ now (with protocols), but they’ve not called us back on a day-to-day basis.
• Went anywhere without a mask.
  • I keep it with me and still wear it during transitions in the well-ventilated places.
  • I’m less worried about myself (triple-vaccinated), and more about perception / concern from others in the area who may not be as well prepared.
  • I keep it on when at Costco, FedEx, the grocery, etc.
• Have shaken anyone’s hand, preferring the ‘Ebola Elbow‘, which everyone seems to understand.

We’re coming into Spring .. going outside is good. Vaccines are slowing, but the counts are always increasing. Omicron has proven to be more mild, although the long-term effects are still unknown. There may be another variant (or two) of interest .. likely later in the Fall, so we can enjoy the Summer.

I’m not a hermit .. I go out. I’m selective on the places I visit and protect myself and others when I needed. I suggest you maintain situational awareness and behave appropriately. Watch the news but live your life.

Oh: “I’m not a Doctor” .. please talk with yours.
