The emotions, feelings, and stress are starting to get to me. Our county is at Level 3, which in Ohio means masks are now required at all times, except at personal residences. I don't mind the mask thing, but I worry about the virus overall. It is scary.
This weekend is Catherine's graduation party. Needless to say, the timing is not the greatest. We had postponed it from June to July hoping things would be better, but they are not. We will do everything we can to have things outdoors, but that creates other stresses. Not to mention it is supposed to be hotter than Hades here this weekend, and could rain. Thank goodness Catherine is stronger and should be able to handle being outdoors, at least sitting. We know that if we don't have a party for her this weekend, it won't happen. She has lost so very much from these last few months, and we hate to have her lose this as well. We totally understand that many people will feel uncomfortable being here, and we just hope that they will still acknowledge her, at least with a note to congratulate her. Right now it feels like no matter what we do, it's the wrong thing.
School is proving to be stressful as well. The district is beginning to "walk back" the plans to go all in for the fall. I understand, but can't help but feel stressed about it as well. I probably shouldn't be, but uncertainty and change are not things I do well handling.
And then of course, there is just the general nastiness that has come along with the politicization of all of it. I don't understand how suddenly everyone is an expert in every area. It's maddening, and at times terrifying.
We will get through this, and overall our lives are incredibly blessed. I need to remember that.
