<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Well for about a year before COVID, I was going dancing once a month when my son and his mentee deejayed their House Music parties a a local club. It was socializing and exercising that I looked forward to. Our timeshare was closed for a couple of months and it reopened at peak time, during a time I didn't want to go until after Labor day due to the new regulations.

It was socializing and exercising that I looked forward to. Our timeshare was closed for a couple of months and it reopened at peak time, during a time I didn't want to go until after Labor day due to the new regulations. Only four in the elevator at a time...in a 32 floor resort...no. So I just returned from my first vacation of the year last night.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">After COVID, we lost a couple of relatives, neighbors and friends to the virus. Visiting doctors' offices is a little different. I couldn't even get into my doctor's office to schedule an appointment when I was in the same medical building for my mammogram. I'm taking Ubers and Lyfts to my appointments instead of public transportation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">On the up side, I didn't have to cook dinners for two months because my DIL signed me up to receive free meals from a program, started by a young man, that delivered them to seniors on the list. I asked her to add a blind friend, her brother (who's legally blind) and his blind friend to the list. Her brother and his blind friend are neighbors who were so thankful. Another group started handing out fresh produce right in our neighborhood and her brother calls to offer me some because he can't use all that's delivered to him. He told me to share with my son and DIL if I can't use it all. I feel like we've become friends. I've also had more and longer phone conversations with two of my closest friends and my blind friend since the pandemic started. </span></p> The county where I live has h…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2020-09-28:1991841:Comment:18790712020-09-28T08:11:05.036ZJohnnieboyhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Johnnieboy
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The county where I live has had around 1,200 deaths and many thousand infections. This stuff scares me. My daughter does my grocery shopping for me. I do go to the post office, bank and the hardware store, but only when I know there aren't many people around. I wear a mask when out in public.

<p>I felt the same way about ordering supermarket food but I know the girl that fills my order and I only order when she is working. When I place my order online, I request her for my personal shopper and she is the one that brings it to my car. If she has any questions about choices or substitutes, she sends me a text message and gets my opinion. I have never been disappointed so far. </p>

<p>Wearing a mask!! I can breath alright, but at times it fogs up my glasses and interferes with my downward vision. Yesterday at the store, I hit a can on the floor, as I didn't see it. It hasn't interfered with our socialization as our group has been safe, as my family here in Jersey. Don't do much take out but do miss being inside a restaurant for dining. </p>

I really miss my singing group. I am happiest when singing, and "making a joyful noise". I don't believe we will ever reform. Too many restrictions. I am sorry to see it go. And I miss my kids!! I have seen my younger son and his family a couple of times this year, but our big reunion got cancelled, and my usual summer trip up to visit with everyone wasn't possible; no way to get there. I would have to go into DC to catch a train or plane, and you couldn't pay me a million dollars to go into DC…

I would have to go into DC to catch a train or plane, and you couldn't pay me a million dollars to go into DC right now. And frankly, I think Dave and I have had a bellyful of looking at each other. What is the old saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt"? I have my books to read, and TV, of course. And there's my painting. But I am really sick of being here at home. I'm just not used to it. And I really don't like the way my son won't let me go out of the immediate neighborhood without him; I feel stifled. Ok....enough complaining. I'm alive, right? Wait....I think I am. Let me go look in a mirror and see if I can see my breath. :-) It's not bad here in MT, but…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2020-09-27:1991841:Comment:18785212020-09-27T16:47:16.313ZMTwomanhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/DorothyMorse657
<p>It's not bad here in MT, but it is here. I go to the supermarket...not into ordering food, as I don't want other people messing with my food and I prefer to choose what I want. I always wear a mask when I'm out...if others choose not to...I say let them die. Visit with neighbors when we're outside and see friends within our "social bubble" once a week. Otherwise, I keep to myself. I will say, I've missed the summer amusements that usually occur here, but, oh well.</p>

<p>Taking care by staying home for the most part, out for necessities only. </p>
<p>We always wear our masks when we do go out, just as much for others as for ourselves. If it helps stop the virus from spreading why wouldn't we. We are all in this together, at least we should be. </p>
