23. I am masking, distancing, isolating

Mon May 30, 2022, 03:56 PM

May 2022

The first couple of weeks of May 2022, there were only 10 cases of Covid reported in our county, so I ate out once with my daughter and twice with my neighbor. First time inside restaurants since March 13, 2020. I noticed that the staff in the Chinese restaurant were masked, the only place I see masking. I wore a mask in the car with the neighbor, and into the restaurant, but took it off to eat. I wore a mask into the Empire Buffet, and took it off to eat. Except for staff, I saw one other person masked.

Rarely, I have gone in at the local IGA, Dollar Tree, bank and liquor store. If I go in anywhere, I change clothes and shoes at the door, wash my hands, wipe off my face with alcohol, shower and have a shot of vodka, as soon as I get home. Keeping my guard up!

I am vaccinated and have gotten both boosters.
