Got both shots,have reinstated family dinners, all are vaccinated.  BUT

 

I still dont feel comfortable going to the movies, or out to dinner YET.

 

Do grocery shopping, but wont go into retail stors yet, there isnt anything I need bad enuf vs potential risk..

 

How about you??

I heard this referred to "fear of returning to normal."

I'm with you.  Eating out is the most riskiest place right now.  They say that even if vaccinated, stay away.

Re: Vaccinaed but still won't

whenever we get our vaccinations I'll still err on the side of "over-cautious"  

what can it hurt

That's fabulous that you're having family dinners again. Huge improvement, right?

 

Everything else? Baby steps. DH said it felt weird eating in a restaurant again, but he was glad he did it. I'd say choose something fun you've been really missing and figure out a way to do it in a way that still feels comfortable to you.

Re: Vaccinaed but still won't

I didn't do those things before Covid, and I won't be doing them now that I'm vaccinated.

 

What I did before I will continue to do.  Hopefully, at some future point I can do them without masks.  And go back to having spontaneous visits with friends.

 

When that will be, I don't know.

I will wait two weeks before going into stores and I will wait four weeks before going to restaurants. At that point I will move forward, can't stay in this mode forever.

Why can't you have spontaneous visits with friends?

Some have been exposed to the virus and I don't know about it unless I talk to them before I see them.  I'd like to be able to not have to check with everyone before I drop in, or vice versa--them with me.
