Ok.  So.  Now what?  

I’m 2 days post-second jab.  Had briefer and milder side effects overnight on Saturday.  The worst seems to be over now.  

And so, I keep wondering....”what now?  How long will a mind shift take to take hold.”

I’ve been fighting a terrible back the last two weeks but after much chiropracturing, acupuncturing, x-rays and physio, I seem to be over the worst of it.  I absolutely hate being debilitated and that is how I have felt lately.   It’s terrible.   

Now I make my list of things to do at the end of June once another 2 weeks have passed.  A movie, home to see Brenda, to the lake to see Deed, a beer on a deck with friends, daring to  turn my mind toward planning for next winter in San Diego.   Nothing out of the ordinary...and yet completely impossible for the last 15 months.   Sad, but true, yet once again seemingly within the realm of possibility.   

I feel gun-shy having been through 3 waves/lockdowns but know that the vaccine is the seeming game changer this time.  At least, that’s what the logical conclusion seems to be.

I sure hope the “new normal” contains the aforementioned examples as possibilities/realities because extended isolation sucks.
