I am writing this blog post on a semi-wet and blustery Sunday afternoon in the month of May. We are having a true Spring this year and it’s not easy getting used to. Also it’s been 14 months since the pandemic officially started in Connecticut and although some things have changed, others have not…
This is the 7th installment of a (hopefully) limited series of blog posts related to my Covid 19 experience – but 7 is my lucky number so I’m going to go with that (smile).
But first things first, I am still working hybrid — one day operating from home, the next day from my News 8 local sales office — which I absolutely love doing but I fear the end is near…
…the state of Connecticut is fully opening back up on May 19th which is a pretty good sign that things are moving towards what is being deemed, the “new normal.”
I can’t lie, I want the “old normal” back and I promise not to complain about anything anymore (double smile).
I’m also still attending my church home, Christian Tabernacle Baptist Church, via Facebook live. There’s something to be said about hearing “The Word” virtually and from the safety and comfort of your own home…
And I still work out 5 days a week at I Love Kickboxing in North Haven, CT. What has recently changed at ILKB is this: there are no more mask optional classes (just mask-mandatory) nor are there any more limits to class sizes. So with the arrival of earlier sunrises in Connecticut, these early bird class sizes will sometimes swell to capacity.
I’m also super excited to announce that I am now fully vaccinated so a simple mask is my new entry point to getting some of my life back, Yay!
I’m not going crazy though. I am slowly easing myself back into my new life. Pre-Pandemic I was Go-Go-Go, trying to cram everything in all at one time without once stopping to take a break.
Nowadays I’m learning to appreciate the simple things in life. Things that bring me love, peace and joy. I’m also planning for my retirement over the next 4 or 5 years where I will look forward to enjoying a much slower and leisurely pace.
