We still wear masks to grocery stores and other indoor venues that require them.
We remain mindful of social distancing where things get too close.
We stopped disinfecting everything that comes into the house from outside sources.
We have scheduled a cruise for the week after Thanksgiving....assuming they are back by then.
We are going to our grandson's wedding in McKane, PA in late May.
In September/October we are planning an RV trip out West to visit family members we have not seen in over a year (longest time apart ever).

We we started the hunkering down in March 2020 we missed a lot however there was a sort of calming and reassuring feeling of being safe(r).

We now feel similarly with our shots that we are safe(r) but remain cautious about crowds.

We are looking forward to going out for dinner soon (which we have not done since March 2020).

Both of us being in our mid 80's chose to play it safe. We have paid our dues so to speak.

Just curious how some others are changing/adjusting.....if at all?

Our second pfizer shot will be fully protecting us (more or less) in two more days.

Going to restaurants a bit more and will be seeing some friends we have not seen for a while hopefully soon.

Would love to do a road trip out west but concerned about hotels and not likely to rent an RV so we shall see.

Have cruise booked for December hopefully that will work out.

We both have had both shots. Our daughter who was born with congenital heart and blood vessel issues lives with us and she has had her first shot at Valencia College and will have her second on March 25th. After that we are looking forward to eating out and having company. We have not had a "hard time" because the company of us three is enjoyable and husband has played golf four days a week. We didn't feel that we were suffering, but now are looking forward to seeing people we love.

Not much has changed for us. We still do much the same. We might entertain friends in the house instead of out on the patio. We did go to a motel at the beach that had safe cleaning methods and left the rooms empty for a day between guests. I probably would not have done that prior to being vaccinated. While there we ate inside at a restaurant because the inside seating was more socially distanced than the outside seating.

My main concern right now is catching some kind of variant that isn't covered by the vaccine. I hope there will be boosters available for those.

We had both Moderna shots over a month ago, so fully vaccinated. We have gone out to dinner several times since but still outside since our mentally handicapped son has only had his first Pfizer shot and won't have the second until 3/29. We eat out with friends who also have had both shots, wear our masks when shopping but golf 3 times a week without masks ( again following the science, not the government). We have flown 13 times since last March on Delta with nary a problem.

As to the variants, we know from the published research that both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines provide better protection against them than your yearly flu shot does for flu. If a booster is needed at some point, so be it. We are ready to return to the world.

I will probably not be eligible to get vaccinated until May. I'm fortunately not "at risk." Regardless, I'll continue wearing a mask inside buildings that aren't mine, until I'm satisfied that most people in the area (The Villages, Leesburg, Ocala, etc) have already been vaccinated, including myself. It's a minor inconvenience I can live with awhile longer.

My wife and I are set but she still does not want to eat out. We will have more people over as if most are set we don’t need masks. We will continue to wear masks in stores and at the centers. This is for now but as things improve we will do more.

[patfla06]

We are still doing the same thing with the exception of I now do my own grocery shopping at Publix.

[jebartle]

Eating out 1st time with friend, yea! Wearing mask according to CDC guidelines, going to pool, yea! Enjoy Walmart grocery pickup, probably will not change.

God bless you all, & continue to keep you safe

Hopefully less fear and maybe a little more normal life.

Watch out. The news just said we might need more shots in the future. They really don't know what is going on....

Knowing the strong fear factor has control potential and ongoing injections are highly profitable (for some) will affect the direction taken.

[davem4616]

We're feeling a lot more willing to get out and do more things

finally going to The Sharon and to The Savannah Center again to see concerts...went with neighbors to see a magic show at one of the Rec Centers

In a couple of weeks we'll travel up to Savannah for a few days then on to Beaufort SC and finally visit Kennedy Space Center

Haven't gone to eat at a restaurant yet, but will soon

Haven't gone to any of the squares at night though and took a pass on the St Patrick celebrations on the squares

we're picking what we do

[Malsua]

We are up here in NJ getting the house ready to sell and my wife is still unable to get a shot(65+). No appointments. Be thankful you're in Florida.

I told her to fly down to our house(we've owned for years) and just get it in Florida since NJ is a complete disaster when it comes to everything related to Sars-cov2.

We will just wait until we come down in a few weeks. Hopefully it's fairly easy at that point there since here there is simply nothing available, ever in our county.
