My father was vaccinated for COVID-19 yesterday. I won't say I didn't cry. Spread is low enough in Cook County that I'm daring to dart back into the Aldi for brief in-person shops, a lovely change from the tedium (and expense!) of online grocery.

I'm not heading home yet, and we're not sending B. back to school this spring, but it feels, right now, like as the winter breaks, so will the need for lockdown.
