hilsSince we went into lockdown mid-March the only times I've been out have been to go to the post office at the end of my street to mail things for work which I have to do a couple of times a week and to do grocery shopping which I do after one of my post office trips since I'm out of the house already.
Today a friend suggested we meet up in a local part for a socially distant hangout. It's the first time I've been out for something non-essential in 4 months and while I felt pretty anxious about the idea of it I forced myself to go because I didn't want it to turn into A Thing where I'm afraid to go out.
It was nice. We sat on separate benches for a couple of hours and chatted. We talk online all the time but it was nice to be in the fresh air for an extended period and just catch up. A cat wandered by and did not come to say hello but just seeing it was fun.
No idea when we'll be able to do it again since I'm back at work again on Monday (I took this week off because I just really needed a break - working from home is surprisingly exhausting) but it was a pleasant afternoon.
I'm continuing to watch SCI which is a lot of fun but I don't feel the compulsion to binge it like I did with The Untamed and Guardian. Two or three episodes per night is doing me just fine.
I'd quite like to try and get some writing done. Maybe over the weekend. My poor Untamed AU has been very much neglected while I've been watching these other c-dramas.
