COVID-19 AND WHAT I MISS

Mostly I miss the ordinary family events. A simple dinner or backyard barbecue together.

I miss the grandchildren sleeping over at my house. The noise. The questions. Just the simple things. Yelling at them to be quiet. No fighting!!

The planes. The red eyes at 6 am. The afternoon planes. The evening planes. I love watching them go over my house on the path to the airport. I miss hearing them.

Having the opportunity to eat out at a restaurant with family.

Getting together with friends for coffee or a dinner or lunch.

Going to favourite events. The Quilts at the Creek is cancelled this year.

2019 memories. Glad I obsess when I visit somewhere with tons of photos.

Going to the movie theatre with a daughter. Any movie would do right now. I do use Rogers On Demand to see current films. But not the same in one's family room.

Day trips.

Last year's visit to Niagara On The Lake and wineries.

A real sporting event like a Jays game. Walking around downtown and not worrying about physical distancing. Although the walk could be doable with a mask and distancing.

Real meetings. ZOOM works. Webinars work. But sitting and talking with colleagues or acquaintances works better. I joined social events to have some outings with real people.

I miss the little things the most. I am making the best of my world. I am a lucky one with a house and a yard and social connections. So my world is not so bad.

But it is okay to miss the little things.
How about you?What are you missing?
