I felt so lucky to still be able to go into my office, where I can close my door and be completely alone. And I think in my building in particular, we were locked down before the pandemic because of a crazy property owner who has a beef with the building official.
I haven't been inside the grocery store in a couple of months.
The last time I went I overshopped and filled the freezer with meats and veggies, so we're cooking out of our freezer and pantry now.
I am PINING to see all my friends in person. I have started reaching out to people the moment I think about them. I have increased my screen time by 64%. Not great, but at least it's keeping connections open.

Also, as more and more people in my orbit get it, it feels like only a matter of time until one of them gets it badly. We've been fortunate. All have been mild, or relatively mild, cases. But when does that luck run out, and with whom?
I want to believe that by May (a somewhat arbitrary deadline, admittedly), most who want it will have been vaccinated, and that as such, life can resume as mostly-normal. I may still mask and I doubt I'd attend a large crowded event, but as long as I and my parents have been vaccinated, then I will get on a plane and give my mom the biggest hug ever when I land. That will be my first priority. I hold on to "May" as the time when these things can start happening because that's lots of time so it seems somewhat realistic, but also because somehow because it's not quite summer, it doesn't seem that far away so it feels doable.
