I was just reminding one of my uncles that the reason gas was cheaper four years ago was that a thousand people a day were dying of COVID and people weren't actually driving places.
7:58 pm
dan2bit
it's not something to brag about
7:59 pm
carleekat
nope..in some ways feels like yesterday and yet also seems so very long ago and a bunch of lost years
8:01 pm
dan2bit
so true! talked about that a lot with the kiddo actually - they "lost" a key year at the end of elementary, and got dropped right back into a huge middle school, not yet vaxxed. residual anxiety and trauma around starting the new high school experience, feeling unprepared, etc
8:02 pm
dan2bit
but once it actually began, the anticipation anxiety disappeared pretty quick
8:02 pm
carleekat
yea...we got back in our groove
8:06 pm
carleekat
oooh remembered another babblet! shocking
