I can’t believe it’s April already. At least things are looking very positive. Most people I know have either gotten vaccinated, or will be getting the shots soon. Since receiving my second dose last week, I definitely feel freer and less stressed when I’m outside of the house. There’s certain calm in knowing that at worse, COVID will just be a mild flu if I do catch it.
I had the day off yesterday - Cesar Chavez holiday for California public employees - which is just as well because it was the first 80 degrees plus day of the year in San Francisco. My first floor studio of a three story house remains cool and unbothered by the heat, so I basically stayed home the entire day. It’s good to know I won’t need to buy a portable air-conditioning unit for the studio. The old windows aren’t of the kind to accommodate one anyways.
A far cry from the southeastern side of city where I use to live. The third-floor bedroom at my parent’s house got absolutely steaming during warm weather patterns. We’ve been seeing more and more hot days here in San Francisco in recent years, so last year I finally bought a portable AC machine. My brother gets to use that now. Meanwhile, I can stay cool naturally at this new place, without mechanical intervention. It’s pretty fantastic.
That said, let’s see how it goes when the mercury goes well above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
I’m also on call for jury duty this week, though my group have yet to be called in. I am somewhat interested to see what serving on a jury during these COVID times is like. From what I gather, people are still physically going in, though obviously there’s lots of provisioning for social distancing. If I don’t get called in for tomorrow Friday, then sadly I won’t get to find out.
I wouldn't mind going downtown on a lazy Friday, now that I’m fully vaccinated…
