Damn! I stayed up late last night to do my post, and it obviously didn't go through! When we awoke in Tok it was still snowing and more so, strong winds. It was quite frigid packing up the cars, especially since we hadn't brought hats and gloves in with us. The roads were snow packed and very slippery. Many times it felt as though the car was on ice skates! That slowed us down a bit, and then we hit the border where it took almost an hour to get...

Rough getting out of Anchorage due to the movers not getting there until after 10 to simply take apart 2 beds and a crib, and take out a few last minute boxes. At noon they'd only managed to get one bed taken apart leading to much frustration on all of our parts . Elizabeth, Zoe, Layla and I ended up going ahead and leaving about 12:30 as there was no reason for all of us to stay.

Elizabeth finished work at 5 so Joe and I took Zoe and met her (and Kat...

Elizabeth got home this morning from her 24 hour shift, thankful to be almost done working here. Here hospital was just interviewed about how bad it is there.. People are having to wait out in their cars for hours to be seen in the ER due to all of the Covid cases here. So sad that these doctors and nurses are so overwhelmed due to the stupidity of people refusing to get vaccinated. I was surprised to hear from Elizabeth that they still allow unvaccinated peop...
