A pleasant evening

[hils]

Had a lovely evening with achray last night. We did our Vincenzo group watch in person which was fun and then just sat and chatted about fandom and learning Mandarin for a good couple of hours. Would have stayed longer if I didn't have to be up at 6am the following morning for work.

Because I got into c-dramas and then later k-dramas during the pandemic I haven't really had the opportunity to meet up with anyone I've met in these fandoms, so it was really nice to be able to talk in person about Zhu Yilong's face and the tomb nonsense. One day, maybe, I will get to meet up with some more DMBJ fans in person.

And then as a come down from a pleasant evening today we got an email at work saying that mask wearing in the office is no longer mandatory, and that the policy of having everyone testing twice a week will be reviewed at the end of the month.

The world seems to be determined to move on from Covid regardless of whether it's actually gone away or not. I feel like getting sick is pretty much inevitable at this point, as all the protections are being slowly taken away.

It sucks, that after 2 years of being so careful and missing so much the attitude now is just 'suck it up'.

Oh well.

I saw 'Zhu Yilong' and my first thought was 'does Hils know Tinny?' but I see you're subscribed. :D

[hils]

Haha! I do! Tinny beta reads a lot of my fics :D

[tinny]

<3 It's great to have friends who know what I like. <3

You know how small my fandoms are. I have to do my part to connect fans in small fandoms. :D

It’s a bit worrying about the Covid relaxation - but in crowded places I’m still going to wear a mask, especially if I’ve got a cold (so I don’t pass it on!).

[hils]

I'm still wearing a mask anywhere I'm going to be in close proximity with someone and I don't see that changing any time soon

[clevermanka]

I hate that. I hate that you have to go back to that. I'm so sorry.

[hils]

Yeah, it's crap. Thank you *hugs*

It's so horrible. ;_; And somehow we're expected to not lie on the floor and scream?

I'm glad you and achray had a good evening hanging out!

[hils]

Lying on the floor and screaming feels tempting most days

I feel the same way. My local government has been very good, but they have now decided that it is over (TM) and all safety protections have been taken off.

[hils]

Yeah it's crap

That sucks, yeah. <3 We're still a little away from that point, but it's sure to come around here, too.
