Keeping on keeping on

I have had limited outside exposure outside of work.

I go to the grocery store once a week.

I go to the comic book store (small, local business) once a month.

I go to the bookstore (books!) once a month.

I go to Target once a month for those things I can’t get from my grocery store.

I go to all of these places as soon as they open, hoping to avoid crowds.

I go to work every day.

All of my meetings have been switched to Zoom.

I wash my hands, wear a mask, use hand sanitizer when I can’t wash my hands.

This is all the new normal for me.

I would like it to be the new normal for everyone.

You don’t have to go to the same places I go to.

You don’t have to go at the same times I go.

You don’t have to go anywhere at all.

But please wear a mask and cleanse your hands.

Please.

If not for yourselves than for your loved ones.
