December Sports

mustardseed2007, that’s where I am. I cannot care anymore about people who choose not to care about themselves. Including my own family. If they die, they die. I’m sorry for any kids whose parents are choosing medical negligence, but I cannot limit my fully vaccinated kids’ lives for eternity. And I’m sorry for the medically fragile who are trying to protect themselves. Unlike my cancer-surviving, Trump-loving brother who I’m sure engages in risky behavior all the time. (And who absolutely didn’t get throat cancer from smoking two packs a day since he knows people who never smoked who got cancer and people who did smoke who didn’t get cancer, so obviously it was just bad luck. Not his behavior.)

An aside. I was at the grocery store yesterday at a store where normally almost everyone is masked. Not yesterday. And there was a young woman with Down Syndrome there with her older, overweight, obviously not in the best of health parents or grandparents. None in masks. I was so pissed. Here I am, masked, making my healthy vaccinated kids wear masks and not letting them go to the grocery store or do a lot of other indoor activities, and these people are out there, clearly higher risk than my family, acting like there’s no virus out there. F it. Let them die. They can join Sarah Palin’s “I’ll get a shot over my dead body” club.

We are still masked everywhere here. DD saw a video of her cousin playing basketball (same state) and none of the 5-year-old had masks on and none of the spectators had masks on and she flipped her lid. It went something like "if those stupid people in Portland ruin sports for the rest of us I want to go to Salem and speak to our governor in person". Gymnastics is masking, distancing, and sanitizing like crazy at least locally. The girls were allowed to remove masks to compete but most of ours kept them on because they are just used to it. I also think if sports shut down again DD won't go back.

The girls had a holiday party last Friday at gymnastics. The coaching staff made them sit 6ft apart to eat. Once they were done eating and everyone was back to masked up, they could gather closer together to do the white elephant exchange.
