Good days and bad days. Yesterday was a really good day. I got to see my dad and cook for him. He only lives 2 streets over, but due to Covid, we limit in-person contact. His hearing isn't so good, so talking on the phone is difficult.

Still pretty pissed off at the state of the world. Very afraid about having children in our home who are about to go back to school. I just don't think it's safe.

And still missing Mom. I talk to her a lot. When I finish making a meal, I say, "Mom, you'd like this." I made a cake from scratch last week, using the recipe she'd always use (on the can of Hershey's cocoa powder). That's actually a big deal because while I love to cook, I don't really bake.
