It would seem that I am going to have a hard time reintegrating myself with society. It has been over a year since the pandemic began, but only about six months since I had a job and spent time with many people. I've always been an introvert, but I could tolerate large crowds and found ways to manage them for myself. Today we went to Zed's parents for Easter. There were a total of thirteen people. We stayed outside in a spacious yard other than to get food. It was still difficult for me. I went for a walk (1.4 miles) so that I could be by myself for a little bit. Walking one or two people would have been fine, but it was easier to quietly go. So I have learned that seeing people again will be a process and today was the first step in that process. I know that this step had to happen. It would have been harder with my family as it would have been a larger group. It was hard, but I am glad I did it. Other things I am happy about:
- On the walk, I went by a street with a bluebird perched on the street sign. It flew away quickly, flapping that magnificent shade of blue. The street name was Finch Circle.
- On the way home, I asked the family to stop at the walking bridge that goes over the Merrimack River and runs by the train tracks. I didn't think that Gideon had been there before and it is a short walk over and back (.35 miles).
- The cats missed us when we were gone.

Stay safe.
