omg, at the mechanic's a while ago there was this bernese puppy, the goodest goddamn puppy, who pranced up to me and sat so politely and hopefully with his tail all athump at my feet while i waited at the counter and i told him that he was the best and most beautiful puppy in the world but no, i couldn't give him his rightful pets because there's this pandemic and i didn't want to risk spreading germs around, and he flopped over to tempt me with his fluffy belly and not rubbing that belly was the hardest thing i've ever had to not do.
a day of reckoning will come, by god, when i find that puppy and give him the bellyrub of a lifetime.

this is gonna pretty self-important but my kids were 5 and 3 when this started, now they're 6 and 4, and that's a huge chunk of their development that my family just missed. they've changed so much physically, mentally, and emotionally. I feel sad that they didn't get to see it happen.
― frogbs, Monday, 22 March 2021 20:24 (three years ago) link
totally. I mean I live in Montreal and they live in Chicago, so it's not like I'd see them more than a couple times a year max, but they were 3 and 5 last time, now 5 and 7. On the plus side, the 7-year-old is now verbally and socially adept enough to call me with no parental involvement, which has been fun (sadly, the 5-year-old absolutely refuses to video chat, so I feel like I don't really know him).

I'll be fully vaccinated plus the two weeks on April 12. All I've got in mind is eating a nice leisurely dinner outdoors at a restaurant again. I would love to pick up dudes again at bars, but the unvaccinated sleazo count in Miami-Dade County is exorbitant.

Ha, no, no intention of disparaging anyone who has the shots or has them on the calendar! I'd say that is plenty of reason to make concrete plans. I was just saying without any timeline or shots on the radar, it's tough for me to get my hopes up.

No big plans for travel this summer, just the usual camping/hiking around the Pacific NW. We need to renew our passports this year and after that we'll think about next year. For me the biggest thing will be feeling more at my ease while doing otherwise normal things, like entering enclosed public spaces for a purpose less exacting than supplying the bare necessities of life. Including public toilets when I'm away from home!

The Oregon coast is about a two hour drive from our house. We plan to go there next Tuesday, once it is established that our 2nd dose of Pfizer this Thursday doesn't lay us too low to enjoy ourselves. We figure a four day interval between the injection and the trip should suffice.

When the Ocean City (MD) boardwalk reopened, the news was full of images of crowds who had rushed back. I went for a few days at the end of the season; on the beach itself it wasn't hard to keep 6+ feet away from other people.
I just got a text confirming my second Pfizer shot on Saturday. LOL gluttony, but for me the pandemic will be over when I'm able to feed my face at a Chinese buffet.
