I desperately miss my #SyrCrunch family. My distress over the reality that even if a season gets going I might not be able justify the risk of going - despite what I am *positive* will be rigorous standards by the org - is sometimes overwhelming.
I'm around humans every day who still don't believe this is a big deal. I hear "it's just like the flu" on a daily basis. I've had to firmly enforce mask requirements and sanitizing with other adults. There's so much immature selfishness.
This is exhausting, and, to be honest, dealing with these humans doesn't give me a lot of confidence in attending an AHL game. The org WILL put out rules and make policies, and they WILL be good ones, but that human element can't be removed. It's what got us here.
Every time there's a spike at SUNY Oswego or in the Oswego community I worry about my mom. I'm constantly reminding her to be safe, wear her mask, sanitize when she gets home from places. Yet I'm then going to go to an AHL game with thousands of other people? Yeah, okay.
Not going is the only surefire way to be safe. But I'm feeling so off kilter without it. I know there's a lot more going on, and so many of us are facing much bigger problems. But this is certainly a large missing thing right now in my life, and I just don't know what to do.
