You played it safe by staying outside and getting your food when it wasn't crowded. <br /><br />I have family visiting in a couple of weeks, and I am so nervous about it. But what am I supposed to do? Never see my parents and sister again? I've only seen my parents twice and my sister once in the last three years. I usually see them a couple of times a year. :( They all promise to wear N95 masks while traveling. I even specifically asked them not to take them off on the plane for snacks or drinks and they said they'd comply. I hope so...<br /><br />Covid isn't going away and I think we have to take calculated risks when it comes to the really important stuff. I mean, turning 80 is a pretty big deal.

I'd be masking up from now until your surgeries - and asking DH to do so as well - no matter where you are. <br /><br />Also, virus free virtual hugs for the ouch moments. Big family gatherings can do that, but I imagine big Italian family gatherings are even more ouch-making.<br /><br />Finally, ugh to the travel chaos. It's happening everywhere - so many absences due to covid (and here in NZ, winter colds and flu etc with our first flu season since 2019). Makes me think twice about travelling.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-29161273004105657572022-07-11T19:05:59.331-04:002022-07-11T19:05:59.331-04:00Awww, Little Great-Nephew is so big and adorable! ...Awww, Little Great-Nephew is so big and adorable! Oh man, watching COVID spike again is...exhausting. I think what's scariest is that everything is so underreported because of home testing, but if Facebook is any indication you basically can't go on vacation without a souvenir. A virus souvenir. Ughhh. I hope you avoid it! They are saying this new variant is more contagious than measles. Which is insane. Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.com
