Hoping We Dodged a Bullet

August 21st, 2021 at 05:15 pm

I met my friend for lunch in our usual city, but different restaurant.  "Our" place was closed.  We had to go to one that did not have outdoor dining -- it was really too hot for outdoor dining, anyway.  We wore masks until we were served, but of course, had to take them off to eat.  I'm a little concerned because we were in Indiana, which I think is going to become the next Florida.  Republican governor, soaring positivity rate, low compliance to recommendations, vaccines thrown out because people won't get vaccinated, school boards and parents at war because of masks -- no thank you.  I probably took a risk being there and being unmasked, however briefly, but I am hoping we dodged a bullet.  Anyway, the lunch was $19, and afterwards I bought a sundae at Culver's for $5.  In between, we went to the fairgrounds and sat at a covered picnic table and talked.  Great conversation.  I feel like I got a fill-up of happiness!

Speaking of a fill-up, I also got gas for $19.  I was only half a tank down, but gas is so much cheaper in Indiana; I always try to take advantage of being there.

I also picked up a box of the new food that Iggy likes -- it was $17.

Today I'm just hanging out.  The air is on, but I may be able to turn it off tomorrow.  Coolness awaits.

    I think you will be OK, but I know what you mean. It's just so frustrating to be back in this situation again. You get vaccinated, wear masks, socially distance, do everything you can to keep yourself and others safe, and yet, here we are again. I am glad you enjoyed your visit with your friend anyway.

    Hopefully everything will be OK. I am frustrated. We did what we were supposed to, got the vaccines, stayed home when they told us to, wore masks, washed hands, etc., yet it seems like this nasty Covid will never go away!
