Pandemic fatigue?

Everything is open mostly. I don't go places like restaurants or events anymore. I hated that the thrift stores and to a lesser degree the craft stores were closed. The local yarn shop was doing curbside. You could shop on their website or over the phone. It didn't bother me much. It was a bit scary at first but that has lessened. I'm essential as far as work, so I worked. Work has changed some.

I hope that some grocery stores and Target will continue their curbside and/or delivery. This is probably good for some.

I'm still wearing a mask. It doesn't really bother me and I don't know when I'll stop. If ever.
 

A bit tired of it but I am a homebody so it doesn't bother me as much. I just miss visiting people and maybe an out-of-province trip on a plane but no mask and no more than 3-5 hr flight. I am getting tired of my cooking.
 
I am feeling pretty tired of the pandemic. I do appreciate the grocery pickup service and absolutely love working from home, but I'm feeling fairly certain I should resign myself to losing my safari deposit. I still hope to at least someday get to use the plane ticket credit, I received an email this week from American Airlines that they are allowing us to let family members use our credit if we want.
 
I'm beginning to ease up on isolation and masking in places that don't require them due to local current low case count as well as the amazing efficacy of monoclonal antibodies. Have been out to eat indoors twice for the first time since Feb 2020!

Since I'm not vaccinated per medical advice due to my autoimmue diseases and the fact that mRNA delivered therapeutics have never before passed ordinary clinical trials due to autoimmune promotion, I've been closely watching safety and efficacy data for monoclonal antibodies for Covid-19. Monoclonal antibodies are proving to be off the charts successful at safely aborting disease process. Monoclonal antibodies have been used safely and successfully for 25 years for a number of diseases and malignancies so I have no worries about long-term adverse events.

I went back to work today! I've missed it so much and it was great to get back into doing something useful for a change. So, I'm working part time teaching a couple of classes. The money will come in handy for sure. Also it's healthier for me to forget covid more since I'm sick of even hearing about it at this point. My mood is better and pandemic fatigue is less. 🤗
 
Empty shelves are really prominent around. The effects are logistics are just starting to kick in. It has something to do with trucking because many stores are out of different things. Example one store was out of orange juice and had a run canned fruit. The meat prices minus a week or two break on meat are climbing. I've never seen dollar stores have issues on so many different things. Many are having staffing issues.

One item I noticed climbing in price believe it or not is plastic storage containers or all sizes. Eggs have dropped here though.

Eh, I'm used to shopping for price so I don't panic when a store doesn't have what I want but many are pressed for time and money and there are hurt the most.

I teach t'ai chi and meditation at a healing arts establishment.(I lost my yoga class during mask mandate time in my state because the owner had to hire someone else though I cannot picture people doing yoga in masks. I'm not in a classroom with children, just helping other adults to be healthier.
