I did miss being able to just travel freely to see my kids, though. Haven't been down to Washington DC where my youngest son lives in over two years (and it's only a 4 hour drive!). I've never liked to shop and the curbside grocery pickup will definitely be staying on for us :) Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382892377041106694.post-5917613360632971212021-06-16T03:18:05.116-05:002021-06-16T03:18:05.116-05:00I'm happy being home...

We have been open for quite some time. Even during the pandemic, I hugged my friends, I visited with them, and behaved more or less normally. I refuse to let some germ determine my behavior, no matter how scary it is supposed to be. I was exposed to Covid and didn't succumb. What I did succumb to was cancer. Go figure. I'm also not giving in to that!

I do shop but on weekdays when they are not crowded and I still wear a mask. I will not get a shot, I have too many bad reactions from regular shots, so I am just staying careful instead. I only get together with the kids, and am still planning trips, close to home. More so since Bill gets tired easy, so long drives are out for now.<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382892377041106694.post-41206506584756956842021-06-15T07:02:29.568-05:002021-06-15T07:02:29.568-05:00I never really socalised much before all of this, ...I never really socalised much before all of this, but do feel rather frustated with family in the UK, who were haven't been able to visit in such a long time, and still no idea when that will be possible.

I have returned to the hairdressers as my hair is regrowing and needs some help as it it nothing like my hair before. We go food shopping and to the garden centre but I'm not bothered about anything else. Many of the precautions we'll continue to do especially wiping down all our shopping and gelling our hands when out. Take care, stay safe Clare-Aimetuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424935779788845367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382892377041106694.post-38513698512915909182021-06-14T19:04:49.722-05:002021-06-14T19:04:49.722-05:00Good food for thoughts, Kate.

There's just a selected few who gets hugs from me. I'm in dire need to go shopping as I've used all my weekend clothes working at home and my working clothes don't fit me anymore, lol. I'm not sure I will try the cloth in the story's fitting room as before. I might be scarred for life! Lol.
