Black Lives Matter. And it seems like things really are changing this time. That there's actually progress. That society seems to be moving forward again, after all the steps back in the last 4 years or so. It's heartening. Onto more mundane things. Another month with Covid-19. While I see numbers going up in various places in the US, glad to see Chicago/Illinois not among them. Happy to see lots of people wearing masks while out and about. Happy that school's over, and my second job as teaching assistant is over for now. I did go into the office one day to pack up my stuff, since out office is moving. Won't be able to get into the new one until the end of July at the earliest, but who knows when they'll actually allow us in. Numerator's been really good about being cautious with reopening. Been going to the pool at the gym a bunch since they pseudo reopened (you have to book 30 minutes at a time in one of 3 separate sections of the pool. Lucy's started up swim practice (in groups of 4) as of today. Finally booked a blood donation appointment in a couple weeks. It'll get tested for Covid antibodies, so curious to see if I had it or not. Went out to Starved Rock for the day (instead of the week long trip to Orlando that was cancelled). Started to socialize a little (like 1 other family at a time), usually outside. Looking foward to the Apple OS releases this fall as previewed at WWDC 2020. Planning on nuke and paveing everything, and limiting the stuff that gets installed. I'm really hopeful they'll release a version of macOS for the iPad Pro 11-inch that I have. Seems like a real possibility. And plan on getting new computers in a couple years, maybe. I took the iMac off the kitchen desk (turned it into a standing laptop desk for work), and not really missing it. Made my way through Ozark, The Witcher (tv series), and Devs. Next up: final season of Dark.
