Because of the hike in covid-19 numbers, I’m missing activities I’d normally enjoy. My only outings are to the grocery store and to the Squad.

Today I am skipping the Sportsman’s Club meeting. I’ve already missed Monday euchre and tomorrow, although I’ll be at Emergency Squad, I won’t go to the Whistlers for more euchre.

My biggest challenge was turning down an invitation to a fantastic six course dinner next Wednesday at Freedom Plaza. I would love a filet mignon meal but I won’t risk being exposed to the virus. (I understand two bingo players at our North Clubhouse tested positive so it’s definitely in the area.)

Next Tuesday is a senior dance but I won’t go because I would feel safe dancing with anyone. The close interchange of air is just too risky.

I don’t mind being inside. The view is lovely. Folks go past in golf carts and on foot. I don’t feel totally isolated. I have internet friends and a cellphone to talk to people. I get by.
