We're locked down too, as you know - though it's not as strong a lockdown as in the spring - Toby's still able to go to work as his store can stay open for shipping AND curbside pick up. He's not working his full hours though, but this way they were able to keep all permanent staff on.
We are seeing family over zoom for the holidays, but honestly are looking forward to a couple of days on our own with the dogs and cats. Toby's mom wanted us to come over (they live in Oakville so don't take it as seriously as we do, they haven't been as affected)...she told me, oh, we'll have two tables in different rooms, that'll be fine. I said no.
My mom should be seeing another single friend, I'm glad, as she was really struggling with the thought of not having people around. I had a MRI on the 10th, and have a consult with an orthopaedic surgeon on the 24th (of all days!), so I'll be higher risk to see her, and my brother's partner had surgery on the 17th. My mom told us she didn't care if she caught COVID and died as long as she got to see us at Christmas...we all had to explain to her we cared if we gave her COVID and she died. Flipping it around like that helped her.
