she's a tourist of the world beneath

First, let me share an article that one of my friends sent me yesterday, that I think does a great job at explaining why so many of us are feeling terrible. It's a little long, but really hit the nail on the head for me. A couple key sentences from the article:

How do you adjust to an ever-changing situation where the “new normal” is indefinite

I'm glad Daren's sister and her husband were able to make their wedding happen on their anniversary as they wanted! And I totally understand being nervous about being around a crowd of people. A friend-of-a-friend has invited me to her housewarming party Labor Day weekend, which is supposed to be outside in her large backyard; however, I don't know how many people are going to be there or how safe/careful any of those people have been or how likely they are to cluster together versus spread out, or how many will wear masks. And then what happens if it rains? Do I want to be inside with a bunch of people I don't know? Because it's only a friend of a friend, I'm probably just not going, but it totally makes sense that you would've wanted to be there for Daren's sister! I'm glad that it went well and you were mostly able to avoid the crowds that made you nervous.

And yeah, honestly, the fact that we got married is pretty much the one good thing to come out of this shit-tastic year so far! And I'm still determined to have that big party at some point!
