Yes! Do so if it’s feasible. I hope you can find something. We’ll be looking for something a little more secluded with lots of outdoor space too. Or by some walking trails. Something different.
Correct. We’d be sheltering in place. Only somewhere warmer. Or maybe CO because at least it’s sunny.
So I understand being annoyed at the kind of people you both mentioned. The people pretending nothing has changed and living it up somewhere else. Or at home. They’re all a holes.
Oh, we’ll be doing the exact same thing we’re doing now, which is working and eating and living from home while taking a daily walk. I just can’t do that here. In February. With dreary days. I hate February here under normal circumstances.
We’re absolutely renting and sheltering somewhere warm for a month in February. There is no way I’m sheltering here in a month I loath. We’re not doing Florida though. Or Texas. We’re looking in a few places. If people are staying at the house they rent and not going out, why would you be annoyed?
I appreciated less people around here. I’m annoyed now because they all seem to be back and they’re out in droves. This weekend was insane. And nobody was wearing their mask. Lightfoot needs to crack the whip again. It’s like people don’t care anymore.
Sounds about right.
Chicago is disappointing. So many people are out in groups and not wearing masks. We were doing so well. I’m not sure what changed. It almost feels like people who were hunkering down at their parents house in the suburbs or those who were away at their lake houses are back. Both this weekend and last, so many people are out.
So I’m echoing Wendy. People are really pissing me off.
I’m so excited about the saliva test vs. the poking my brain through my nose with a Q-tip test.
This year I’m basically pretending never happened. Well until Nov. Then maybe we’ll get some good news.
A few weeks ago I sent in my request for my mail in vote. What I’m not clear is whether or not I can change my mind and vote at in-person if I feel safe. Regardless I’ll make sure my vote gets there.
Briefly today I was wondering if I should volunteer to help. If I could take a leave, I totally would. Or I guess I can check if I could do it for just a couple days.
I have seen my hair stylist after we were allowed to do so. Pre-covid, we were charged the full amount if we canceled within 24 hours. I do appreciate they, and from what I’ve read a lot of other businesses, are waiving the cancellation fees. They don’t want anyone coming in who’s sick!
Protect, protect, protect.
Oh, I absolutely feel for Ver!! It sucks. And I can’t believe the venue will charge her full price despite trying to cancel early. Deposit, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. Full price, that’s bs.
In my defense, it was presented that she was considering calling off the reception because her matron of honor couldn’t make it. I’m not totally heartless! And I do hope at some point, ver, you get a lovely celebration.
Also, that sucks Copa, especially with a deposit that expensive. I think my entire wedding, in Chicago, was about $15k.
@ver, I think you should postpone regardless. Even if MO is allowing bigger events in the fall, do you really want to risk it?
I definitely wouldn’t go.
One of my friend’s weddings is postponed indefinitely because they want everyone there. Another friends reception-like 40th is also postponed until at least next June if not longer.
I’m with Fyodor in this one. It sucks. But this situation sucks.
The husband and I already discussed holidays. We are supposed to do my parents for Thanksgiving this year. My mom always hosts my dad’s side of the fam. There are like 40 people. I told her they’ll have to choose between us or them. We will only go if it’s immediate family.
Lol. Yes. I truly hope it was mostly Russian bots and/or trolls and not real people.
Wendy, now you just need to be chummy with the woman who writes Love and Lemons and it’d be a trifecta for me. You have Chicago roots too, it could happen.
