The kids have less than a month left in school, and now suddenly they’re talking about having in-person graduation ceremonies, which feels surprising. Good surprising, except: what are the kids gonna wear? At this point I declare victory if I’ve got them wearing pants and a shirt, and consider it a minor miracle if they don’t complain too much about socks.
Lotta infrastructure stuff like that, really. My SCA barony is having an event for the first time in over a year, and I’m doing spreadsheets on who has a tent or a pop-up, and where I need to assign them on the list field. I’ve got a convention to vend at, and I need to find somebody to watch the table while I go pee. We have a list of things around the house that need doing. It’s ever so slightly annoyingly weird, mostly because none of this was unusual before the pandemic and I don’t like the faint aura of unreality. The sooner everything’s back to normal, the better.
Oh, and we saw a couple of cicadas today! …Ehh, we may have been talking up this entire thing a little. So far, so underwhelming.
