I sat here for three minutes trying to decide on a title and how to start the post. After that long I decided that this should just not be some mind bending task. Skip the title. Just type whatever comes first. Aren’t you glad that I did? So satisfying. Intellectually brilliant. Heart felt with emotions ranging from exhilarating to the painfully truthful. Can’t wait for the sequel.
Spent the day people watching. Picnic on the green next to the creek. Baby ducks following their mamas and curious baby bunnies bouncing along the boulders. We can feed the animals but only veggies, bird seed and pieces of nuts. The island is entirely no smoking, which is great. People shopping weekend sales and eating meals. Families from all over the world live here. Africa, Germany, France, Britain, UAE, Canada etc…. Makes for some great people watching. The British pub full of people watching “ football” (England won). Feels like life is getting back to a different kind of normal. Nearly everyone still wearing masks when they visit the island. I really never thought that I’d continue mask wearing but since the cold was nearly non existent while masking, the flu nearly knocked out. I feel like, shit! I don’t want those either! People coordinating masks with clothing makes me laugh. Embrace that shit! I do that too! What a difference a year makes.
Things I want to see stay:
1) clean your hands! Use those sanitizer stations. I love that!
2) contactless delivery. Hey, I’m an introvert, I didn’t want to see people in the first place. Outside my door with a pic and text message. Loving it!!!
3) alcoholic drinks to go!! Yes!! I love getting the fruit and mint leaf sangria from the Mexican restaurant on the Island!! First, damn! ONE kicks my butt! And it’s still done all fancy like even though it’s to go. I’m feeling fancy painting my paintings!
4) doctors by phone. OMG. If you only knew the number of appointments that I cancel because GOING to the doctor amps up my anxiety by 100%. If I GO to my kind of docs… pelvic exam. Period. Can’t do that over the phone, Honey!
5) Social distancing!! Again, I enjoy my space.
6) Every place has takeout! I enjoy this too!
I’ve just noticed that most of these stem from me being shy. They really cater to that and I’m not gonna lie. Us shy people, we introverts, we were made for a pandemic and we are taking over!
Had a three hour, uh….. Conversation…. With the OM Friday afternoon and it went less than spectacularly. In fact, it was awful.
Have to run!
