Is it over yet?

Covid?

'Cause I'm over it.

I'm so done with social distancing,

and dying for

more hugs,

more awkward, unmasked, impromptu convos with those I know and those I don’t,

more concerts,

more meals...INSIDE,

more vacations,

more playdates,

more events to attend,

a return for my kids to their brick and mortar,

a return for my loves to things they love, like dance and baseball and other group activities.

But Covid is not over yet.

And so,

I guess,

slightly reluctantly but consciously willingly,

I'll remember that

it's not over just because I'm over it.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel, but until I can see it, I've got to continue to make some of my own -- every day -- and be grateful I've got four humans in my life who make that so gosh darn easy when I sit down and really think about it.
