I felt guilty about Friday night, when I went to hear some live music and ordered dinner and sat in a room with about two dozen people (total), maskless.
It was legal and as safe as those things can be, but it was still more exposure to Covid than I've had in the last eight months.
But - I'm craving human contact, especially anything resembling the kind of normal contact I made going out to clubs and bars and restaurants while performing or supporting.

I see Jam Club in Lisbon and Boy Blues Bar (and other places I know) in Chiang Mai doing fairly normal business (Jam Club looks like nothing ever happened). I get nostalgic. Of course, I can't go to either of those places, not for at least five months (when my cardio rehab ends). I get wistful.
I feel, to a degree, that my whole happy lifestyle is on hold. When I indulge myself (not often, and only in short bursts), I worry that what I enjoyed here is gone forever. My life feels incomplete.
There is, though, another reality: I had about as major a surgery as can be had without loss of organ or limb, and I would be missing most of the activity that I'm missing due to the virus anyway. In that sense, at least, there could hardly have been a better time to be convalescing.

But: I would still have my social venues, and now, nine weeks after my surgery, I would be out among friends. That, the virus has taken away from me. And the taste I got Friday was just so pale compared to the last time, in early March, that I went out.
Still, I'm full of gratitude for all the wonderful things I do have, which are abundant. And I voted today, so there's that.
