Before covid, I used to get a lot of email in my personal account. But since covid, my inbox has exploded. 

I get emails on the following topics:

• how to log in to remote learning (this has calmed down a bit since the spring)
• college application process webinars
• school reopening zoom sessions
• zoom class meetings
• zoom all-school meetings
• how to get the kids tested for covid for school
• changes to the remote learning schedule
• remote meetings for religious school and other activities like cub scouts
• baseball schedules for N, which change all the time due to weather and covid restrictions on the fields
• virtual parent teacher conferences
• zoom events unrelated to the above (which entail one or two invitations, then a confirmation, then a day-of-zoom-link email)
• grades/comments from N's teachers on each submitted assignment

Then of course there are all the book-related emails (insane numbers of these), the campaign solicitation emails (thankfully now down to a trickle), and all the other myriad emails that land in my inbox. 

It is overwhelming, especially when many of the emails require action – registering, logging into some account or another, scheduling, adding to calendar, authorizing, sharing with another member of the household, just reading and absorbing.

ARGH

If you're waiting for an email from me that I haven't responded to, I am sorry. This is why.
