I'm used to having hubby gone during the week (20 years of it), but whenever he's gone on the weekend, it feels strange. Tomorrow will be back to normal -- my mood back to normal funk hah.
I have a couple things on the calendar today though. Huge stack of paperwork (no fun) and a visit to the kids for lunch with all FOUR dogs (fun!).
I think part of my problem is I didn't leave the house at all since a week ago Friday. Hibernation starts as comfort and quickly becomes a funk for me. Even if it wasn't intentional. Tomorrow I'm going grocery shopping and that will be a good thrill LOL.
That brings me to the part where EVERYONE is quickly moving back to normal socially. Restaurants, BBQs, vacations, shopping, hair, nails. I've opened up a little, but still barely doing anything. Next week is everyday contractors in my house. Exposure with absolutely the opposite of fun.
The US COVID numbers are not good. A hot spot in GA right now is in the county where our rescue has the far, far away vet -- far, yet too close for comfort. All Alabama boarder counties are hot spots too. Watching people having fun and I'm like a shut-in is amplifying the feelings. Even hubby is golfing all weekend.
Is this QuaranTINA showing up? I don't think it's any safer right now than it was in March -- maybe even becoming less safe as people think it's over. Protest gatherings -- so important, but scary in the wake of COVID spread. Regular lists of restaurants with temporary closings due to a positive COVID test of an employee. No mask requirements for food prep anymore (need our governor GONE). What does that mean for take-out safety?
I MUST figure a way out of this funk. As I said before, ROUTINE brings me good things and I need to find a routine that can stay for long enough to get myself back together. I think that will help. Looks like I'm heading for some idea brainstorming this week AGAIN. Getting Monti used to being left for a couple of hours is start to fixing ME. Then I can make some plans -- hikes, walks, grocery store runs, etc.
Hope your Sunday is a funday. I NEED FUN too (!!) Time to get thinking ...
