Been A minute

What a whirlwind this whole coronavirus thing has been. It's absolutely astounding how drastically all of our lives have changed and how this new normal has become like, part of our existence. I was actually just chatting with a few coworkers about what it's going to be like when everything calms down. I've gotten so used to wearing a mask everywhere that I think it's going to be so weird that very first time of leaving without one. As I said, this current way of life has been with us now for almost a year and doesn't show any signs of letting up so I'm super curious about how life is going to be for us let's say in another year. Will everything still be like this?

I've been keeping up with the vaccine rollout in Canada which has been pretty disastrous to say the least, but it appears I'll be up for vaccination in May. I know I've said this before but I've not had any vaccines or shots in probably 2 decades. I rarely take over the counter pain killers in favour of natural remedies and I believe I've gotten sick only a handful of times in the past 10 years. With all of that being said, I intend to get the vaccine. I know that it might seem like the vaccine isn't really going to help with anything as you must continue to distance and wear masks, but I am trying to be optimistic because it's all we have lol 

I'm still dreaming of travelling again which I think fuels my motivation for this vaccine. I'm not naïve, I don't believe after vaccination that everything in the world will go back to normal, but I believe having the vaccination will make future travel a bit less chaotic. Every day I'm reminded of my travels through Europe while I lived abroad in Ireland, and it's heart wrenching that I can't go anywhere outside of my own province right now lol To be honest, I'm currently dreaming of like, a solo Cuba trip or something. A week of just lying on the beach, getting tanned and drinking throughout the entire day whilst relaxing. I've never gone anywhere tropical, nor have I had the desire to until this year, but I am starting to see the value in a vaca that is designed around my relaxation. I think that's the first thing on my travel agenda when it becomes safe to travel once again.

I hope everyone is holding up ok out there. We have to stay positive you know? Being pessimistic in an already negative situation just fuels negativity.

All the bets to you all <3 

HAPPY VEG
