I am attached by hip to my recliner. Netflix has my favorite binge watching shows, although they took off West Wing. <br />I actually started in April 2019 with a TIA and took myself off the road. On January 1, 2020, I jinxed the whole year by falling and breaking my wrist. <br />So I had a head start on being a shut in so, being quarantined has not phased me. Well maybe a few things, like getting my nails done and my hair cut, but not being home.

We took a trip an hour from the house last Wednesday and I was so anxious, including where I could use restrooms. And that's in a state with one of the strongest mask mandates. I can't imagine living in the "wild west" although it's not that far away (I won't name the state I'm thinking of). We are thinking of taking an overnight trip to a motel (family owned, 1950's style) we know is clean with all the precautions. But still. Just thinking of it. But we have to do this. As for the prospect of going back to the office, I'm happy my employer is cautious. I have to make that decision and fortunately, I'm already officially retired and just working part time. I truly hope they don't pressure me. I miss my co workers terribly but, at the same time, thinking of being in an elevator gives me the creeps.
