Hi there :)
This blog post originally looked a little different and a lot angrier. In a rush of pandemic-related frustration, I typed a long-winded rant griping against folks who appear to struggle with (or outright flout) the concept of small-scale sacrifice for the greater good.
I later realized my words weren't moving the conversation along in a productive way. No one wants to be nagged, shamed, or bullied into doing the right thing. Best to let the matter drop and focus on my own bubble.
Clearly, after seven months at home, I'm feeling restless and resentful. I miss having wine-soaked dinners in restaurants with friends. I want to spend long, leisurely afternoons with family again. I am ACHING to walk down the sticky-floored aisle of a theatre, take my seat, and watch a movie on the big screen. Mostly, I miss when EVERYBODY enjoyed a sense of normalcy -- not just the people who work around the rules because they're bored and unconvinced of the situation's severity.
Phew. Okay! Aside from THAT. What's been going on?
On my end, October saw more of the same: Books, walks, plenty of television and movies, virtual drinks with girlfriends, grabbing coffee from neighborhood spots, pizza pizza pizza, doting on Reggie. A lot less ice cream, though. How about you?
Until next time,
Stef xx
