Living in the Time of Corona

A boomer in the time of Corona

Day 366

Holy Shit! It has just passed over one year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good evening my Corona friends. I can’t believe we have passed the one-year mark and still living in the twilight zone.  So much for that 2 week lockdown. It has really found a home with us and just won’t leave. The good news for me and my roommate is that we have had both our shots and now we feel totally invincible, totally weird feeling but right now I am digging it.  I know some of my friends have traveled south this winter and it is like we live in two different countries and no masks required but here in our beautiful city almost 100% compliant with mask-wearing. I did even break down and order a bunch of new styles as for sure we will be wearing them for a while. If I paid attention to my fashion I would do better on the coordination, but right now just want one that won’t fog up my sunglasses. Is that too much to ask?  So we had a great experience this past weekend, we actually had our friends Howie and Lisa over for dinner in our one big room. I was so excited to cook a meal for the company I broke out Ina’s best recipe and went to town. Wow, we got our dining room table back as it has had two computers set up as our work from home station, it was like a whole new place. I always loved having people over for dinner and I didn’t realize how much I missed it and how good it felt to actually feel like a regular human being, well maybe not regular?  It was a lovely evening with cocktails and wine and even gelato for dessert, heavenly.

Today my roommate and I had a life-changing event happen for us and we celebrated by actually dining inside at our favorite Pizza place, Regina’s.  You know you are really simpatico with your lover when you both come up with the perfect celebration spot for all your life-changing events.  I was walking back home this afternoon and I was thinking to myself Techie and I should go out and celebrate big time tonight, feeling very emboldened with my double vax.  Plus the fact that I wouldn’t have to get out my sweatpants sealed the location, and happy to report that we were not disappointed and didn’t have to worry about popping the button on my pants as they were already pretty well stretched. Well, that life changing event I was speaking about is that we will no longer be working together as our business changed hands today and now what am I going to do?  Well I have seen all the Law and Order so that is out and now I picked up another British crime show “Dirty tricks” which is about a bunch of retired old geezers who get hired back as consultants to the Police department, there is a parallel theme here with the old geezers maybe I will get an offer?  I may have some time to get back to the gym, no excuse now got all my shots!  Funny how we all seem to want to know who got their shots?  It’s like I can only play with those who have had their shots, well it makes it easier to decide on who you are letting in or who wants to come on in for now anyway.

Walking around my neighborhood today I came across a flock of Pink Flamingos and took it as a sign that it is time to dust off the travel bag and explore the world. We visited the Galapagos a few years back and came across these beautiful birds a few times.  I have to heed my lover’s advice and maybe look at this change as a good thing and those Flamingoes just may have sparked the fire.
