Tommy Bahama St Barts EdC

I've been looking for the Tommy Bahama St Barts at discount stores for a while and ran across it earlier this year. Then I was waiting for some nice warm weather to use it and smell tropical. Well, I got tired of waiting and it's not warm but it's sunny today. I have to say the EdC was a little bit of a bummer. The scent strength is pretty low and it's not an exact match for the soap, though it dries down closer. I'll just need 20 sprays instead of the usual 10.

So today marks two years since the pandemic was announced. Really not sure what to say. Reflecting on those years is pretty emotional for me. The changes and challenges at work were one thing. I can remember the huge deal when we got our first patients. Security would stop traffic in the halls when they were transported anywhere. The frustration of staff as guidelines kept changing because our knowledge and supply availability kept changing. On up to 1/2 of our patients having COVID and getting a morgue trailer put behind the hospital. But much harder than that was the were the changes had on society and how it affected things at home over time. As many people, there is no doubt some of the struggles we've dealt with outside of COVID would have been much easier if other things had been "normal". So today, things are opening up quickly. Masks are being dropped. We're talking about when we will have meetings in person again. And the scars and issues that COVID left personally are still raging white hot. COVID, today I scream F YOU!!!

It has definitely been a couple of years that will change our idea of normal for a very long time. Have a great Friday.
