Okay. It's finally happened. I awoke this morning, looked at my fitbit (845 on the clock hand version I have chosen) and wondered "why is K on her staff meeting?" I was sure it was Monday. I even laid in bed and thought about checking online on my new students -- because it was Monday.
It's Sunday!!!
It is really Sunday.
It's stunning that 9+ weeks ago we all thought Sundays were good things.
But that's a lot less so when everyday seems like a Sunday. When the line between work day and every day is so blurred you can't tell the difference, Sundays lose their charm and potency.
It's Sunday.
They ran at Churchill Downs yesterday. The star of the show, Monomoy Girl, did what stars do to become stars -- made everyone else look pedestrian. Bottled up along the back stretch, her jockey (Florent Geroux) swung her out to three wide an she acceclerated like she had a gear the others don't (which she clearly did) and zipped pat them all to a 6-length win. After months of little stardom in racing (okay, the Arkansas Derbies two weeks ago), it was good to see what looked like sports stardom perform.
Our big news here yesterday was this:
It's been since March since we've seen this in the stores. Yesterday my daughter snared a package. Woo woo.
I just heard, and saw the graphic, that 48 states were doing some kind of reopening in the coming days. It's not clear what "reopening" means -- here it means no hair salons, tattoo parlors, restricted restaurants, and quite a few businesses not really open. Reopened is stretching the defintion.
We are all trying to find a way to get through this. Not just the zoom world we now live in, but the strange mixture of masks, distancing, half available tables, and lines, six feet apart, in stores, restaurants, and places of entertainment.
But it's Sunday! We don't have to worry so much about that today. It's a(nother) day of rest!
Enjoy.
