Always been a bit of a loner. When the lock downs started it didn't bother me [View all]

But I have to say after, what is it 10 months now, I’m really getting tired of it. I have pretty limited interactions, I’ve seen my son a few times and visited my sister outdoors a couple times. Go to the store and a couple medical appointments and I’ve used zoom quite a bit. I never thought I’d say it but I really miss having people around. At least sometimes. Cant wait to see 2020 in the rear view mirror.
