61. it's pretty devastating.

Fri Jul 30, 2021, 11:01 AM

Jul 2021

I am either oblivious or have not been looked at weirdly and certainly never heckled when out and about. The people wearing masks in my area appear to number about half of all the people out there. or 40% or so, at any rate people wearing masks do not stand out because there are many of us.

what has me so dismayed is that when I booked my vacation to CA (home) way back when, I was thinking August would be the best time to go! it would be summer, people would be vaccinated, the virus would be in decline. But thanks to millions of COVIDIOTS, I'll be traveling during a terrible and dangerous time.

there is no way i'm not going. I have missed my son and my grandchildren long enough. but now my joy and anticipation is clouded because I'm also scared shitless, even though i'm fully vaccinated and will be in a mask the whole time.

Irony has played such a huge role in my life. this one is excruciating.

ETA dummy me! Glad you're feeling better and hope you just keep on improving!!!
