Another day mid-pandemic

This afternoon, when I went outside to take out the recycling, one of our upstairs neighbors was sitting on the back landing, playing Magic with a friend, both masked. I told them they didn't need to leave, just give me room to get past them.

I came back in through the front door rather than disturb them again. For the same reason, I did my PT exercise on the front stairs rather than the back, even though the back staircase is better suited to it (the front staircase has steps that both slightly taller and narrower).

There are three people in the upstairs apartment, a woman and her two children, and this is the first time we've been in each others way, in months of staying home and socializing mostly outdoors. Before this, I've had to walk past the other child and a friend on the front steps once or twice, and carefully worked around her playing in the driveway once. People occasionally socialize at the back of the driveway, and one of the people in the house next door lifts weights at the back of the driveway.

Anyone want to hang out and talk in a small side yard before it gets cold?
