Be Careful. There are People Out There.

It looks like it is going to be a people-ly week.

1)  It is my week for on-call Chaplain duty at Mercy Aurora
2)  Monday--Short Zoom meeting for the pre-Council meeting briefing (sounds better than the pre-Council meeting meeting, but it's a church thing, so...)
3)  Tuesday--Small group dinner
4)  Wednesday--Church Council meeting
5)  Thursday--Barchurch or Bike Night. I might need to exercise the stay-at-home-and-smoke-a-cigar option at this point.
6)  No plans yet (maybe a hospital visit). I'm really hoping for a no people kind of day.

Green County (Springfield MO area) has made the CDC's covid hot spot list. Being SWMO and all, there will be very little indoor masking going on in spite of the recommendation for it. I think most of us (in the area) know somebody that has had (or has) a lingering case of covid recently. If I do decide on a Thursday night activity--Barchurch indoors in Green County vs Bike Night outdoors outside of Green County--hmmm...

We are slowly slipping back into the dining out more often habit. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse that we live just far enough away from civilization to make going out a little less attractive. Sometimes it's just easier to stay home and fix something. Other times it's worth the drive not to. 
Eating well at home should be more of a thing for us. We are both good cooks. We both like a variety of foods. We're pretty good about sharing the cooking/cleaning duties. We generally have the ingredients to put on a decent meal. Sometimes we're just lazy...and privileged enough that we can decide to eat out.
sigh

Time to go see some people.
Ugh.
