I don’t celebrate Easter, but I do celebrate the act of giving, so I wish you all a wonderful Easter weekend with oodles of chocolate and gallons of good cheer!

Massive hugs back, Diana! Easter eggs are fun for the kids, and remembering that humans /can/ be good is good for us. 😀

Another resident invited us to our dining room, but he’s gathering the other people, so it’ll be an easy celebration – they’re not back to pre-pandemic standards, but we’ll see.

A friend who just died had complications after surgery, then pneumonia, and then covid – she would probably have survived the other if she hadn’t caught covid. She’s our first resident that I know of who succumbed. Nicest woman you’d ever know. I’m so mad. Her poor husband has been on oxygen for a while now – he seemed to be the more fragile one. I think I heard him say he’d had covid, too, but I’m not sure – when you talk to someone here who has lost a spouse recently you have trouble remembering all the details because it’s an emotional time. And everyone here would have talked to him, sent cards. The support structure is huge – which is good – but then there are a lot of people who want to talk to you.
Life goes on, but I don’t see how the government can just decide it’s uneconomic to wear masks and be careful – and then we lose someone! Trump in my mind is PERSONALLY responsible for mismanaging the pandemic – and everyone who didn’t survive.

In a small community, the impact of a death must be doubly painful. 😦
I don’t know about the US, but here all our governments, state and federal, are scrambling to find savings to make up for the money spent over the last three years. Because Covid is over…right? -grinds teeth-

Covid is not over; but this is our first death, and first death in Independent Living residents.
There are around 250 in IL; 350 total; we lose 35 people every year on average. It IS a part of living with older people – but it is still better for us than being isolated alone in a suburban house in New Jersey with so many things to take care of.
Today we had lunch on the terrace – gorgeous day.

Some would say ridiculously careful – but the terrace is well ventilated. I did notice the husband of the other couple doing some serious coughing – but he’s much older than his wife, and she didn’t even blink, so I assume it’s part of life.
That’s what happens when you marry someone seriously older than you are (over 25 years with them). Sigh. She once said she looked for someone just like him, only much younger, and couldn’t find one, so she married him. My aunt did the same thing. And since men, on average, don’t live as long as women, it means a long widowhood in the future some time. On average.
We’re all grownups – sort of.

Parents condition us in all sorts of way, and I guess we condition our own kids without being aware of it either, but …25 years is a very big age gap.

I’m a grownup – and recognize that all my actions have consequences. Inaction has consequences. Wanting a stable environment so I can write is full of consequences.
You trade one stress for another, looking for the best combination: isolation vs. being exposed to the coughing of others; freedom from interference in your life vs. going squirrely from being alone too much; the amount of energy having a child takes vs. the lack of an actual contract for them to take care of you when you’re old.
Speaking up vs. not rocking the boat…
Gak! I need to finish reorganizing so I can write instead of philosophize! I don’t do well any more if not surrounded by my self-created structure. Too many big foggy ideas which chase each other around in my brain instead of instigating words on the page I can actually use.

Thank you! Hope your Easter weekend goes well. I don’t celebrate Easter either as such, though I’m marking the day by mowing the lawns ahead of a predicted week of rain. It’s good to get a day or so’s break too – I’ve been incredibly busy with a writing project – it’s kept me off blogging and social media – now looking at mid-year before I’ll have much time for either.
