As the weather gets nicer, it is easier to get outside and do different things such as yard work and long walks but it is also more enticing to get together with friends.
Yesterday was a bit windy but my friend came over with her daughter and we walked for miles while the girls hung out and did what teenage girls do, (show each other pictures and videos on their phones). We were not wearing masks and we weren't six feet apart at all times but we were outside. It felt amazing! It felt almost normal except there were no hugs goodbye. If there is one thing I am going to miss after this is all over, it is hugging. No one will be touching again ever and it makes me a little sad.
A friend is coming over today to pick up a couple of chickens. We will be wearing masks because chicken wrangling is a full contact sport. We will have coffee outside and it will be glorious! My zoom friends discussed walking in lieu of chatting once a week and I am totally down for that.
Is is too much too soon? I hope not. As much as I am an introvert, I love being around my peeps. I love the nurturing network I have in my life and I miss it so much. In the meantime, my lazy dog is giving me the stinkeye because I owe her a walk.
