Down in the Depths

rivervoxPacking up. Another gray day on the Cape. I guess I would feel ill-used if the sun came out.
Yesterday I walked on the beach at Coast Guard with Honey and went to Fort Hill with both girls. We went at 4, and dark came on as we walked through the red maple swamp. A fun outing though! A good way to spend the first day. Unfortunately, there was an issue with Exchange so DH had to work all day. He did get a bike ride in, but we didn't spend any time together. Luke called, which was delightful. He asked a lot of questions and I'm still thinking about the answers.
We had pizza and watched Duck Soup, then Tick Tick Boom. DH and I watched half of Don't Look Up. For some reason, I sneezed all day, especially when I was in the kitchen. I took an antihistamine. It was find when I was outside, in the bedroom and in the shower. I thought it was a sign of COVID but today it's gone and I feel fine. So weird. I was tempted to take a test last night. But I'm not sure what the point would be. If I have it, we all do. The only good thing that might happen is that Violet would have to skip school and we could stay here.
I'm nervous about going back. It seems inevitable that we will be exposed by Sigal at school. We're just playing on the beach while the tsunami crests over our heads. Still we march on. We had a good, relaxing time here. What can we hold onto? What rocks amidst the sand as the clutching tide pulls us into 2022?
