Today after finishing my beans, I went to the rental units, signed papers for the second unit, then . . I was brave (or stupid) and went to eat at the Mexican restaurant I like.
It was close to 2 when I got there so I knew there wouldn’t be many people there and sure enough, for most of the time I was there, it was just one other couple there eating.
Came home and took a nap. My friend was supposed to be here about 3:30 or 4:00 but had things keep happening with her job so she didn’t get here til after 5:00.
Jeremy went and picked up street tacos at some “hole in the wall” place but they were delicious. Mine had grilled jalapenos and pineapple with pork. They were so good. That’s a place I’ll definite get food from again.
The last of the beans came out of the canner about 10:00. I will be in bed way earlier than normal tonight. I am so tired but I canned 26 quarts of beans for me and 36 pints for my friend. That’s a lot of canning in about 36 hours!

I’m going out to have lunch indoors with two friends this Tuesday. The restaurant has super high ceilings and the tables are spaced apart. I am so looking forward to a moment of normal but I know I’m taking a gamble. I haven’t been inside a restaurant in over a year.

Even though the Covid numbers are still high, when you think of how many people eat out, the risk probably isn’t as high as it seems but even a small risk is dangerous since we never know how it will affect each person. I did eat Mexican out Thursday since I had to go do something or Vince and I was halfway to the restaurant. It was about 2 p.m. and I knew there would be few people there at the time and it was just me and one other man and we were far apart. I still think about what could be on the napkins or the table or the booth or the door handle but I used hand sanitizer several times. It was very nice to have Mexican food out but I’ll still be a bit nervous every time I cough or if I have a scratchy throat for the next 14 days.
Have fun with your friends! I think at least feeling a bit normal is important.
