I am so glad you wrote this. I am still "self-quarantining" and only venturing out for curbside pickup. I wear my N95 mask when I even lower the window.

I am so glad you wrote this. I am still "self-quarantining" and only venturing out for curbside pickup. I wear my N95 mask when I even lower the window. I notice that most employees at the various windows and who bring groceries to my car also wear masks. But the maskless idiots abound and they are the ones who scare me. I'll get that second booster whenever I'm allowed, and I don't mind paying for it. But then I think of those who cannot afford it.
I associate with only two friends, both of whom are fully vaccinated. One got Covid break-through four months ago and it nearly cost him his life. Just this past week, he began to get his taste and appetite back. He has lost over 25 pounds and suffers from extreme debilitating fatigue. This is not a welcome place for a 6'5" Marine to be. My other friend is older than me and the caregiver for an 80-year-old husband who has COPD and congestive heart failure.
Yesterday was the first time in well over a month when she and I and two other older, fully vaccinated friends got together - in my home - because I refuse to enter any enclosed space in this town, which include restaurants. All of us have remained unscathed thus far because all of us have stayed away from the local idiots. This thing is NOT over. Patience and smarts are required in massive doses. I don't intend to have made it this far and then lose my marbles and do something stupid and die from Covid!

Mask up. Be safe. Be patient. Be smart.
