This is a great discussion. I'm constantly reminding myself that it's still not safe to run around at will. Our numbers, including hospitalizations keep climbing as people suffer this fatigue. My poor car hardly knows me and has traveled less than 1000 miles in 5 months. I usually drive that much in 3 weeks! But every time I open a closet or drawer that's messy it gets a little cleaning. Now if a fairy would just come and do the sewing room for me...
At least we have created a circle that encompasses our kids and a few friends, even if it means wearing masks a lot.
We're busy trying to figure out with our best friends how we can safely gather this winter, we have been meetingon patiosallsummer. - the other 2 couples have very large great rooms, so we'll probably be in their homes occasionally.
My daughter and her family are trying to figure which of their many friends are as cautious as they are so they can get the kids together. Our grandsons have not been with other kids since February.
I saw my PCP yesterday and she said she's so tired of the tension and disruption she has a really hard time keeping going.
I feel the northern winter is going to be very hard on people here, especially our many struggling with paying rent and heating costs.

Where is "up North?"...hear in south-cent. Pa. we've had a couple of mild winters. My car, as well, only got1275 miles put on since beg. of April. Here, folks are definately letting their guard down, compared w/ June/July. We have a "steady" # of cases & deaths,per those keeping track of these grim statistics.When I see young adults, for instance. grouped closely together @ the drive-up ice cream shop, I want to remind them this is still very real.Your grandsons must be having to find more & more things to do around the house. Don't have any yet(grandkids) but almost 32 yr.old son is contemplating marriage in early spring(lives in Arizona so can't wait too long in the spring, as temps go up to 99-102 by then. Kathy
@sueinmn- Great points! One of the things that I have decided to do is to stop hiding as much. I finally had a dentist's appointment. A new dentist has taken over the practice that I go to and I really like him. He's redone the waiting room and has brought in really good abstract paintings. I agree that winter in New England is going to be tough. I fear too much rain as the weather has warmed throughout the years and we have less snow now. I love the snow. I'd rather be self-confined looking at snow then rivers of water coming down the hill in back of us. I'd rather be climbing the hill in the snow then seeing a waterfall. (exaggeration of course). When I go out now I see many sad eyes, stressed expressions, and people trying to have hope.

I too have extreme fatigue. I wish I knew how long this will last.
