Oh man, that is the definition of stress right there. Hurray for the cancellation.

He was very stressed out and so was I thinking about him being deployed for an undisclosed amount of time away from our newborn and toddler during a pandemic! Thankfully they cancelled his unit from going but it was a close call.

I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear someone say they were on board with my ebook plan. Thank you so much. I’m sure not every state’s Greek system was as segregated as Alabama’s, at least I hope not. I do think we are seeing many great changes in that regard in our lifetime.

Much to ponder here. First, I am very excited about your ebook. Hope you will send out a big announcement when it is available.

Glad your husband and the boys have a game they can play together. My granddaughter and I were trying to play Slitherio together but realized it is virtually impossible to find each other among all of the other players.

I was a sorority girl back in the ’70s. I remember we had one member who was Hispanic. But at the time I didn’t even realize it. Her name was Mitzi and her last name was Martinez but she pronounced it Mar-ten-ehz. Later, I realized she wasn’t even pronouncing her last name correctly. I don’t know if it was intentional or not. Seems very odd to me now though.

It’s easy to get angry. It’s easy to want to act in anger. But Jesus set the example. Although we don’t even know if this was racism, which is SO true, the most tragic part is this unnecessary loss of life and the fear it propagates in the community. I feel as if all of us have had a notion similar to your well-meaning and probably unaware classmates who wondered if you’d ask for a roommate change. Times like these get me to really examine how I treat and react with EVERYONE, and remind me that all are my neighbors, regardless of race, ideals, or anything else distinguishing. I love that variety.

Yes! We all need all the love and peace for sure. Just 2.5 weeks! If I were pregnant, I know that I would be far more reluctant to leave my house, and I don’t get out much as it is.

I’m so glad you didn’t. We have this idea that racism is a southern thing (like in Alabama) but it’s very prevalent here too. It’s a country-wide thing, if not worldwide. I’m glad you spoke about it.

As for Disney, we JUST went in February before this craziness. We only go during cold months so we wouldn’t be due to go until January/February 2021 anyway, and since I’ll have a newborn then, would probably put it off a year. So even without COVID-19, we probably wouldn’t go going but I have missed it so. Probably because I love it there and it was my last travel before this all got crazy. I was pregnant there this year but didn’t know it! I feel special thinking about it.

Church opening would scare me too. I’m actually terrified of this virus, partly because I’m pregnant and partly because it’s terrifying.

Wishing us all love and peace and strength in these last 2-3 weeks of school.
