My life outside books:
Banner week of reading! And I skimmed the first 6 chapters again of How to Be An Anti-Racist by Ibram X. Kendi for a discussion that friends/colleagues and I held earlier today.
This week has felt slightly less stressful.
- I have only a couple more days of my American Government summer school class
- We're in a once-weekly meeting rhythm for union negotiations
- We're in a once-weekly meeting rhythm for figuring out the reopening of schools
- I'm doing once a week meetings for our summer PD
- The teacher groups I'm facilitating/liaising for are cruising along
- I've got back my reading mojo
Our weather hasn't been very good here; it 's Santa Barbara's typical "June Gloom." COVID numbers are up, but people don't really seem too concerned. The state has put us on a "watch list" and are now recommending that bars close. Seems pretty obvious to me! My daughter and I walked around downtown yesterday and it was packed. The cool thing is they have closed down our main street, making it more like a promenade and restaurants have built platforms out into the street to allow for social distancing between tables. All very festive. I hope this is a change that stays.
