Don’t worry — I’m not sick with Covid again. I have been struggling with my resolve to stay masking or maintain the habits of protecting myself and my loved ones from the virus while everyone else in society seems to have forgotten all about it and acts like there is no threat whatsoever.

But new variants arise and keep infecting people and killing vulnerable populations. I got Covid for the first time this year because someone in my bubble was exposed to someone who didn’t pay attention to infection rates and didn’t bother to communicate symptoms to mask. I also got what was probably RSV and norovirus earlier this year. And so did everyone else in my bubble. It has been very discouraging.

My real resolution is to maintain my protective strategies while trying to get out more and see friends I miss like crazy.
