Today I’m fully vaccinated. Watch out world, here I come!….

(I wish you could hear how loudly my husband is laughing at this.)

As it turns out, I’m putting my toe very tentatively, slowly, warily back into . . . what exactly? — normal life? No. Gathering with people indoors? Not ready! Going out to eat? I’m good. So WHAT exactly?

For starters, it’s been nice to share a few hugs with friends. My mom is visiting next week, so that will be our merge back into indoor meals that include more than two people — my husband and me.

For the last three mornings, I’ve grabbed my computer and headed straight to a local coffee shop, where I’ve sat outside along a murky slew settled into a beautiful green belt in the middle of a city.

To start the day writing away from home has been a roaring mood lift. The downside is, I can see the former co-working space I belonged to from where I sit. I stare at it longingly and with some jealousy at the e-finance team that’s settled in there. My co-working space didn’t survive the pandemic.

You sound just like us. We've been into a shop instead of having everything delivered! Smothered ourselves in sanitizer as soon has we got outside.
My niece visited for the first time in a year, but we all did a covid test the night before.
