The New Normal

So I’m getting pretty used to wearing a mask at the game store I work at to pay for my editing costs. I can’t say it’s pleasant, and I’m washing my hands about 20 times a day (without exaggeration… lunch alone is 6 hand washings minimum every day) and disinfecting them with hand sanitizer at least another thirty or forty times, but I’m getting used to it.

Not to say I won’t enjoy being able to go biking without having to wear my mask someday, but for now, that’s a very small price to pay.

I don’t mind going grocery shopping only once a month. I’m okay with only having a certain number of customers in the store at a time (maximum 6 people per aisle and 15 people in the building). I miss my friends, but again I’d rather us all be safe than risk making any of them sick because some of the customers in the store are not particularly careful (my favourites are those who feel the need to specifically lower their mask when they talk… don’t do that, that’s the whole point).

Don’t get me wrong, this is still a pretty far-cry from ideal, but all things considered, I can’t complain too much. Do wish I had more time to write, though!

Speaking of which… back to writing!
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
