Impromptu visit

[redbird]

adrian_turtle and I were comparing our calendars for the next couple of weeks, looking for a chunk of time when neither of us had plans, and then she said "Should I just come over now?"

So we did that.

cattitude went for a walk that included going to the Belmont farmers market, giving me and Adrian some time to ourselves, and then came home with all sorts of tasty things, and we had a few hours of three-person social time, which we have also missed. Three people is a small bubble, especially since we don't all live together.

We had an early supper, because Cattitude had a phone date and Adrian wanted to walk home while it was still light out. We sent her home with the last few strawberries, a pint of blueberries, and two plums, and I walked with her for a few blocks, also unplanned, and thus without a mask. (Residential neighborhood, early evening, it wasn't even difficult to maintain distance from other people.)

I stopped on the way in to do one of my PT exercises, which requires a stair to step on and off of, and it was the most normal thing I've done in ages: walk a few blocks with my girlfriend on a cool evening, then come home, exercise, and bring in the mail. I've been wearing a mask whenever I went anywhere beyond taking the trash out, gardening, or bringing in the mail, because it's a habit worth getting into, and who knows, I might want to go into a shop.

In the morning, I planted lettuce seeds in two small flowerpots and placed the pots in the garden next to the newly transplanted cucumbers. The already established cucumber vines not only have several small fruits, I saw flowers and bees visiting the flowers, which is promising.

Here's hoping for more wonderful normality.
