Back in March 2020, I created this fictitious magazine cover for a hypothetical publication called "Covid Monthly" and shared it with my friends as a joke. At the time, I included the issue month of September. It seemed impossible in March 2020 that the pandemic could last until September of 2020, and it was meant to be humorous that it could go on for that long. As we know now, it got much worse in September 2020, and here we are now in September 2021, still trying to fight that hideous monster.

I've really enjoyed my walks in the park with my new friend [J.]. I just met him through another friend and we have started walking a couple of times a week together and it's really fun. I enjoy the company and it has been nice getting to know him. This week we walked to a new part of the park and then ended up at a market where we got warm soup afterwards. It was the first time I ate indoors (outside my home) since March. The place was quite empty so it felt safe, but also kind of strange.
