An Adventure of Sorts

What counts as an adventure these days: The other day I walked to the supermarket to get a flu shot at their pharmacy. Understand that the supermarket is only three blocks from my home and that I haven't been inside the place since March, as deliveries from local businesses have kept us supplied. An employee was at the door with wipes, hand sanitizer and masks, there was hardly anybody inside the store, and all shoppers and employees were masked and meticulous about keeping their distance, as was I. Got my shot of vaccine and was able to print out my permission form at home before heading over so didn't have to fill it out there. The checkout stations all had plastic shields between cashiers and customers and there was no physical contact at all among us. This is reassuring but didn't prevent my experiencing ripples of anxiety. Clearly it's going to take time to get used to this. In the meantime, hope all of you are wearing your masks when you're out and about.
