Staying (Lung) Safe this Holiday Season

Believe it or not, we're just 2 weeks from Thanksgiving and all the seasonal gatherings and traditions!

Yesterday I was reminded of my sensitivity to the "smells of the season" as my friend got into my car reeking of the cologne someone in her office was wearing - not her.

Then I was thinking, about how, for 2 years, we didn't worry about big gatherings and people sharing their respiratory viruses and other bugs...but now everyone wants to be normal, even though our lungs still aren't. I am left to ponder "How are we going to gather this year?"

What do you plan to do to stay safe, but still be able to celebrate in some way?

I would really like to see people and I also would like to eat someone's else's cooking. So, I have decided to drop in on a family gathering. Everyone is vaccinated - I don't know if they are all up to date or not. I have had Covid twice and also had monoclonal antibody treatment 3 months ago so I should have max protection. I do plan on keeping my N95 mask on while I am there. And I will take my food home with me to eat so I don't have to take off my mask.
Thinking back, what a terrible thing this Covid has been for us......how much it has changed our lives.
