So I just had to get out of the house yesterday. I decided that I'd be daring and go to brunch as I used to do in the olden days 2019(pre covid)because it's best to not go grocery shopping while hungry and I was dying for a Rueben on rye. As I sat outside at a small umbrella table a nicely dressed gentleman asked if he could join me because it's a shame a lovely lady should dine alone(somewhat of a corny line I know)so I asked if first I could take his temperature, holding a spoon up as a makeshift thermometer, the ice was broken. It was a very nice time with adult conversation for this full time female expressionist then it was off to go food shopping. While there a woman who works for the store stopped and said "you look pretty today"and "I love your shoes" to which I thanked her and with a smile but she could not see it with this damn mask on. It felt good to get a compliment and added to my now wonderfully happy day. It gives me hope that I'll survive this covid crap even despite the politicians. See me in the photo gallery.
