The truth is, I'm still working around a schedule I created last year, when I was definitely in denial about how much I could do within a day/week/month/year. I dread the very idea, after finally getting back on track, but sometimes there's no getting around things. In another week, I'll have 95% immunity, and I can't begin to tell you what a relief that is.īut I've lost a couple of days of work, and between some family things (HELLO, MOTHER'S DAY, WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?) online conferences and doctor appointments, I'm looking at my schedule and thinking I might have to shift some things again. I'm not suggesting it wasn't worth it-because that should be a no-brainer-I'm saying I wasn't expecting it. So not nearly the length of the flu, and certainly not the length of COVID19. And then.Ĭhills, fever, nausea, headache, aches in every joint.even my skin hurt. I went home and worked for about six hours. Beyond unexpected fatigue, I had no real after-effects following the first vaccine. A feeling of THANK YOU FOR BEING SANE, I guess.īut here's the thing.

Thankfully, after five years of practice, I’ve almost mastered the art of brushing without tears, and I’d go out on a limb to say…braiding is my thing. “DADDY, do ya know what I learned today?” my daughter asks as I run the brush through her long, curly blonde locks. The “different from and beyond” faded into a vague goal located in a distant future. The state capitalism originally conceived as a transitional stage en route to a socialism different from and beyond state capitalism came instead to define socialism. Josef Stalin’s USSR came to define socialism as state power in socialists’ hands overseeing an economy that mixed private and state enterprises with market and state planning mechanisms of distribution. In any event, conditions inside and outside the USSR in effect halted further transition. He never spelled out exactly what that meant, but he clearly saw that transition as the revolution’s goal. The socialists’ state could achieve transition to a genuinely post-capitalist economy. He explained that socialists had taken state power and could thereby take the post-revolutionary economy – which he labeled “state capitalism” – further. Near the end of his life, Lenin gave a speech that referred to the USSR as a transitional society.
