With the new CDC blessing that those fully vaccinated can gather in small group, I feel great relief. I had my first haircut in a very long time, went to the dentist and making other medical appointments.

I have not been out socially with friends yet, my daughter who had been participating in Novavax trial found out she was on a placebo but she will receive her vaccine next month, so by May she should be fully vaccinated. Her husband had the "real" shot. My son is vaccinated, his wife is not. When she's vaccinated, we'll be able to have our Thanksgiving at my daughter's this year. What a wonderful thing to look forward to. My daughter may organize a belated Mother's day get together with her in laws and us.

Still haven't been eating out. Had 2 take outs in the last year.

Stores still require face masks for patrons, and even if they lift that requirement, I'll still be wearing mine, don't want to take any chances. Hope more people are taking this vaccination seriously.
