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!

Feeling needed and valued at work helps me feel happy. Having a good workout despite current limitations makes me happy. Finding new things to try and new ways of experiencing my favorite things - like getting takeout from a favorite restaurant and doing a picnic - makes me happy. Seeing my friends while maintaining social distancing makes me happy. It's about the little things these days. We aren't going to big parties, or planning grandiose vacations. I feel like my expectations and needs have been reset.
