Hi @jackiez 😊
It's so wonderful hearing from you and I really appreciate your very healthy perspective! Your awful story about the darn Amazon box is a testament to the adage that "life happens" no matter how careful we are and where we are located! I assume it all healed nicely?
This bout of covid taught me to use my mask ALWAYS when I am in at the doctor's office, grocery store, waiting for my meal at an off-time restaurant, etc. Unfortunately, I think I so wanted to enjoy face-to-face conversation again, I was lax in some of those circumstances. I am a widow (single) and wanted to show my face, have a chance to smile and converse "normally".
I have to realize that my protection is more important than feeling socially normal right now. But, I totally agree with you that outside, with available space between people, I will talk to my neighbors with no mask but LOTS of distance. I think that's my plan to occassionally allow my face to show. It's a definite balance of mental, physical and emotional health! I agree we need to live our lives, but after this covid week, I am going back to "live my life with a mask glued to my face!". My dermatologist told me I have to "live my life with a sun hat glued to my head!" Funny stuff ❤
