A few people have very kindly sent me messages checking if I'm ok while Israel is at war. I really appreciate the gesture, thank you so much.
To let everybody know, I'm about as fine as any human being can be while awful things are happening in different parts of the world. ( being distant from foreign war )
Anyway, the reason I have time to make this post is because I've caught a cold and I'm staying home from college to avoid infecting everybody else. Pretty sure it's a cold, lots of negative Covid tests, known recent exposure, and rhinovirus colds are at much higher prevalence than plague right now. I'm not very poorly, and I did a lot of second-guessing myself about whether I should attend class anyway. I certainly would have in the Before Times, but I'm trying to apply the lessons of the pandemic as best as a single individual can when institutions are so resistant to change.
