This is a picture I took while sitting at the Belfast City airport 6 hours early because the 24 hour PCR test I took was lost by the lab and I had to get to the airport early to pay for another test - this time a rapid antigen. There are no customer service agents around until 2 hours before your flight while several people sit around waiting for their COVID test results.I was struck by the UK’s expediency in getting free tests to people. Little did I know that I would come home to CT and find people indifferent to Omicron - no mask mandate - and no tests to be found!

I’ve rediscovered the rose garden park nearby. I’ve started going there pretty often, I’ve been there everyday for the past 3 days. It’s like I’m rediscovering people. It’s so nice to be around people of different ages, backgrounds, abilities. Seeing them run, read newspapers, hold hands strolling, sit i the grass on blankets, take pictures, walk their dogs, play with their children, speed walk. I miss people. Lately, going to this park feels like being part of the world again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very connected to online spaces like groupchats and social media. Yet, being physically in space with others is a whole other level of excitement and possibility.
