Quarantine’s End

T and I have been in quarantine since January 20.  Two weeks and three negative tests later, we’ve shoveled ourselves out from the snow and today I return to school in person.  I’ll be teaching in the hybrid model we’ve used all year and so I don’t really expect to see that many students in person in my classes — usually no more than 4 students are in the room; most Zoom in to school — but I am glad of the chance to leave the house and teach from my classroom.  

I taught from home while I was in quarantine but it was hard and a huge burden on the co-workers who were called upon to hook up the classroom into my Zoom.  The longer I teach hybrid, the more frustrating I find it.   But that is a post for another day.  Today is a day to be glad and grateful for my blessings, so I won’t grumble and I will hope, as I do every day, that my turn for a vaccine comes soon.
