I like to think of many things in terms of gardening. That before time is dead. It’s not coming back and we have to start fresh with new soil and seeds. What we knew before reappears in bloom to remind us and we ache, but there’s forward only. We mourn, we curse, we’re sad. But it’s forward only.

I feel this! I always refer to life before covid as “pre-covid”. I can’t bring myself to say “during covid” as we’re still in a pandemic!

I always find myself lecturing my family members about masks, but you’re right — everyone has their own level of risk

Covid genuinely sucks. I'm so sick of it permeating every conversation and thought! I've been desperately wanting to travel so tonight, I booked a hotel interstate. Haven't booked my flights yet, but I will. I think the only way to get back into living a semi-pre-Covid life is to make it happen.

Where I'm going - Hobart, Tasmania - the tourism slogan is "Come down for air" and it couldn't be more suitable!! I really need that cold, crisp, fresh, pristine environment, the serenity, the calm, the beauty. Ideally, I'd travel overseas but this will be a good re-entry into the world of travel.
