Our First COVID-Season Outing!

This morning, Connor and I took a trip to the pediatrician for a well visit. It was the first time either of us had been out in public in the era of social distancing, so we donned our homemade cloth masks and forged ahead into the weirdness.

On one hand, it felt like a big deal, leaving the house for realsies for the first time since March. On the other hand, like Connor said: it’s just a doctor’s visit.

Once I return to working in the office next month, I’m going to have to get used to wearing a mask all day. After wearing one for just an hour, I can tell that this is going to be interesting….
