happy new year 2023
Jan. 20th, 2023 10:49 amSo yeah! We are 3 weeks into the new year and unlike LAST year, I didn't get the COVID. In fact I think everybody we saw on the trip dodged that particular bullet. Which is funny because seeming everybody ELSE in the world got it- this last wave was the one that nailed two reasonably careful co-workers and a bunch of my social media follows and friends of friends.
Judging from the wastewater surveillance Ontario peaked again around Dec. 28 and has been dropping ever since. That Dec. 28 peak was higher than the Halloween peak and the July 1st peak, but not as high as the April peak. Do the math, we're due for another peak in March?
At work one of my co-workers is in the "let everyone get it and get over it" mindset - her kids have had it twice already, which should put the lie to her own words, but I am DONE arguing with people about this. I am still gonna wear my mask in the grocery store and in indoor spaces.
We did go to the movies and see the Shin Ultraman, which is great, I really enjoyed it. Probably going to get out to the movies more now. Masked. At home, we watched Glass Onion, which is fun, and Everything Everywhere All At Once is the movie Marvel's been thinking it's been making for the past two or three films, but way better. Land Of The Minotaur/The Devil's Men is boring and filled with stupid characters wandering around Greece, entering a temple, and being murdered by Peter Cushing's cult members, but it has a Brian Eno soundtrack and an end song sung by Paul Williams, so go figure. The documentary "Heavy Petting" is by the guy who made Atomic Cafe and is filled with vintage educational/instructional films about sex ed and dating, so you know it's right in my box o' interests.
Still waiting to hear back from my doctor about all the x-rays and ultrasound I had done of my left shoulder which has been hurting since Halloween. The pain has been slowly decreasing over time but it's still hampering pretty much everything. I have a little exercise routine I do mornings that I have NOT been doing on account of this injury and I can feel my upper body strength just withering away.
Anyway, that's the new year so far!!
