Day 79

Good evening my Corona friends and hope you are happy and healthy tonight. I know lately we seem to be a bit more relaxing on the rules and getting a bit more comfortable. I know I am suffering from Mask fatigue and yes my roommate and I both are suffering from Maskne, otherwise known as mask acne. Well I googled it so now they know everything and I am getting tons of notices about all kinds of facial masks that can cure it. I still kind it very freaky that you can do a bit of research on the internet and next thing you know it is showing up on your IPAD and your phone and can be relentless. Anyway apparently there is no end in products that will take care of this problem, and like all things COVID there will be a whole new cottage industry sprouting up to capitalize on the situation. There are so many places that you can buy masks now that you would think the appetite for them would be slowing down, but I guess we better be prepared for the long haul, and just order up to match our wardrobe.  Tonight was opening night for restaurants that have outdoor seating, and I understand the ones that could offer it were sold out. Luckily it was the perfect night for it and I hope it was a successful night. Techie was walking through the North end late this afternoon and he said it looked like a lot of places just decide to put their tables in the street, but he didn’t get me any pictures, have to check it out tomorrow. You might think I would have been one of the first to run out to a restaurant, being that before Covid that is where you would find us four nights a week, but we both had different Al fresco plans tonight with different friends.  Techie had a meeting with his investment club which he has been a part of for years, we are still working so I guess they are not that good at it. He says they are more like a support group now, that get together once a month and try to solve the world problems. I went to my girlfriends and a few of us had a nice dinner and cocktails on her patio, and we were probably not six feet part and we didn’t wear our masks. I was feeling pretty good about relaxing the rules and felt a bit like a renegade and then I get a text from a friend who says he has just been diagnosed with Covid.  Say what, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.  Now I haven’t seen him in a long time and he is not sure how he got it but probably at work. Kind of ironic as one of his business right now is selling masks online. Well right now the symptoms are mild and I hope they say that way for his sake and his family.  I guess I am going to have to get back on track and keeping better care of the rules, Techie has some issues, so we need to be very careful around him. I am going to have to go back to cooking his meals, while he solves all my technology issues and pretty sure I am getting the better deal here.  Opening day today in the retail world and it was fun just to have the doors open and have customers. It has been over three months would shops shuttered and we all had to get start over getting reacquainted with our computer system. Techie was very busy, imagine he had a lot of people like me who couldn’t remember their passwords and had new machines that weren’t always being cooperative. I think he is saying it is going to be a long day tomorrow, so I better cut this short, as he also has to publish for me every night, as I haven’t learned how to do the posting part yet.  I mean I really don’t want to and I have such a good assistant why mess with success. Please stay safe everyone and please follow the rules…

Just sayin…….
