this and that

I am feeling stressed, moreso than I have in the last few days, and I'm not sure why.

Massachusetts is still in phase 2 of reopening, but things are inching back to normal:

A lot of medical care around here is still telemedicine, but I got an in-person appointment by explaining why I want one: a follow-up exam on my wrist, which is still sore after months of wearing the brace that was prescribed the last time I was in the office, and the second dose of the hepatitis A vaccine. For the wrist, I expect a referral either for physical therapy or to an orthopedist (who might then tell me I need PT).


Similarly, I'm still not doing my own grocery shopping, but we were able to get a same-day delivery this afternoon.

I just filled out a pre-appointment questionnaire for that visit Thursday, saying that I have no relevant symptoms, have not been diagnosed with COVID-19, and have not been in contact with anyone who has in the last 21 days. I was going to wait until Thursday morning, then realized that if any of that changes, I can and should call the doctor's office and tell them.

Extremely locally, there are (at least) seven flowers on my cucumber plants, which I hope means we'll get at least seven cucumbers.
