Today, as I was cleaning up my room, I came upon a bill from the grocery store in Aruba.
The grocery list, that one at least, was very different from the online list now during pandemics.
The list had 3 different kinds of cheeses, pistacchios and other nuts, crackers and liquor.
Probably we went to buy that with our friends after the evening at the beach and as a preparation before a wonderful serial that Humberto had brought about the French revolution.
Every night Dixie fixed the technological part. Humberto was the barman and I cut up the cheeses, placed the nuts in small dishes and crackers in others.
Now Aruba is in another planet. Even our friends are away.
Dixie will take me next Wednesday for our second dose of the vaccine, she will then come here to help me with my apricot brandy and then we agreed not to see each other for 2 weeks, until the vaccine worked (if it does).
Mylotters, I HATE THE COVID!!!

@marguicha I sure hope so. I think things will start to get back to some kind of normal soon.

@stephcjh I think that vaccines are only a small help.

Aruba has placed many restrictions to tourists. I don´t blame that.

@marguicha I didn't think about you not being allowed into Aruba.

@JudyEv Aruba closed its frontiers to South America some time ago. I hope they discover that not all countries are the same. We are now sending free vaccines to Ecuador as a way of helping.

I don't blame you. I am sick of hearing about it, myself. I've avoided facebook and social media in general. As well as the news. I just don't need the thing drilled into my skull.

It gets me upset to watch the weather news without being reminded about the pandemic.

The pandemic is one of the worst things that have happened to us. And we are not learning much

I hope you are able to go to Aruba again some day. I hope your second round of the shot goes well for you

We will have to make it first. Right now the apricots are in strong liquor.

I hate it too! We've lost a whole year of our lives.
