Doing Stuff

Last week, friends of ours were in the area for an appointment, and stopped by for lunch (delivery, which we ate outside seated 6+ feet apart on our porch). It was the first time in well over a year we'd eaten with anyone, and I could count on one hand the number of times we even ate in proximity to anyone.

A few days later, a local family member stopped by and we had a maskless chat (again on the porch, 6+ feet apart) for the first time in months. The next day, we went together to our local farmers' market - they picked me up, and it was the first time in over a year that I'd been in a car other than my own or my husband's (we were both masked, fully vaccinated, windows open, and it was about a 5 minute drive). We spent about 45 minutes shopping and visiting the vendors, and then drove back together.

Today some family members got together for an outdoor and mostly distanced gathering. While we were up and moving around, some of us kept our masks on, but once we were all seated, I felt comfortable taking mine off. (Then when another family member with young kids showed up, I put my mask back on because who knows what those germ factories are carrying!)
