Talk about your current living situation. Has anything changed during the pandemic (for example, where you're living, who you're living with, etc.).
Last year I had a home decor idea -- using decorative paper to cover the electrical socket plates and lightswitches for all the rooms of the house. I had a hard time finding Mod Podge, the craft coating for the paper. Like a lot of things -- flour, chicken parts, sparkling water -- the stores were out of stock. I ended up ordering it from Amazon, adding to the much higher total I spent online in 2020. Over several weeks I did it bit by bit -- unscrewing the plastic wall plates one by one, cutting the paper, pasting it, letting it dry, and recoating it before replacing it. When it was all done I was even more pleased by it than I expected -- and it is something I will remember the pandemic by.

Out of the blue I received a text from a friend telling me I could apply to the Pharmacy for the Covid vaccine According to the information online, I didn't think I was eligible till much later. But it was straight forward and I was booked for my first Pfizer vaccine towards the end of this month. That was a surprise and I was very thankful to be included. My husband is a few years younger than me, and he was not accepted into this group. I called the 811 number to find out when he could get vaccinated and was given the details. Unfortunately the details on the websites are not quite accurate and seem to be changing day to day. But as the pharmacist pointed out, the vaccines are here and more are on the way, so eventually we'll all be given the shot. People are questioning whether one particular vaccine is better than the others, but from what I can gather, they all do the same job and are effective. I didn't think we'd be vaccinated till the fall, so this is wonderful news.
