Like Christmas I spent New Years on my own. Unlike Christmas I couldn't think of much to do to make it special. I usually go away and spend New Years with a group of friends so it was a little lonely being on my own, but I was in touch with most of them by phone, email and Facebook.
I put a little more effort into dinner yesterday than I usually do. I'm truly not fond of cooking. I would probably live on prepared foods but they tend to have a lot of salt and fat which I'm trying to keep to a minimum, and spices, onions and garlic etc which wreak havoc with my digestive system. So I do cook. I just try to keep it simple.
So a new year begins with record daily numbers of new infections in the province. I'm staying in even more. I try to get out for walks for exercise but there are a lot of people not wearing masks, still!, and they're not always good at making the effort to distance. I'm considering for the first time having groceries delivered rather than going to the store. The library is doing a good job of being cautious but if the numbers keep going up I may put my account on hold for a while.
I do look forward to seeing people again, but at the same time it's been kind of great not having to bother socializing or having anyone over and I need to remember to enjoy that while it lasts. Which realistically is going to be many more months.
