Good Morning! Another week staying at home. How are you holding up? I have started to miss some things now. Like, going to a restaurant to eat truffle pasta or oysters, order a juicy veggie burger with fries and I miss pizzas of all kind. They still encourage everyone to order take-outs but my husband and I stopped doing that a few weeks ago, cause you never know if the people making your food has the virus, you can after all walk around with it for two weeks without knowing you have it. So, now I’m looking forward to when we get back to a more “normal” daily life when we can go out to eat or go visit friends and family.
This weekend we got a bit of better weather again, yay. So on Saturday morning we got in the car and drove to Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT. We got there early enough for everyone in the park and the beach to be able to keep a great distance from each other. Some people were wearing masks, others didn’t. Nice to walk by the water, it was just what we needed. Thor seemed to enjoy it a lot too, just fun to be out and about and see something other than the same blocks around our apartment. By the time we were leaving a lot more cars started to arrive and parking lot was getting full, so a good time to leave.
Before we left the park we placed an order online for a curbside pick up at the brewery in Stamford. Like I said, we do not order any take-outs now, but to pick up beer without having to interact with people is great (you stay in your car and they come out to place it in your trunk), it supports a small business. Of course, once we came home we wiped every can off with disinfect wipes. We ordered groceries online a couple of weeks ago (we were short on some things – we have after all been home for over six weeks now), they delivered it downstairs in the lobby, we brought it up and then wiped everything off in the apartment.
Going to the beach was of course the highlight of this weekend. Everything else we did wasn’t exciting enough to share here. Nothing we do these days is exciting, for any of us. We stay at home, we keep our distance if we take our dog out, we are being as careful as we can and we are trying to entertain ourselves at home. And I hope you are doing the same.
