Dad wants to get me an IPad for Christmas. Well he wants me to get me an iPad .

They have been the it of stock but a 8 am I saw there was some in the Boston store i like to use. I threw on some clothes and dashed off. Red line train. Green line train. Lots of hand sanitizer. 40 minute wait in line. They take my temp and it is then I find out you can only shop by appointment. I could wait 3 hours and then I could shop, but people may buy what I want before I shop.

Home I head waisted 3 hours.

Oh boy.

I can get it shipped back t shipping has been a disaster lately.

EDIT: The store still had them when I got home so I ordered the tea and will do in store pick up and go in tomorrow. I have a pick up appointment at 10 AM.

While not what I planned getting out and about is good for me...it is what I need. Once the snow hits it wont be so easy to get around for me. I have plenty of gloves and hand sanitizer.

Glad you managed to sort out getting the iPad in the end. It's so easy to just stay isolated at home but it really is good to get out and about (safely of course) now and then.

I'm glad you got outta the house for a bit, not getting the iPad notwithstanding.

But then you did get the thing and you got out of the house twice!

yeah. I need to get out.

This is a lot like when I was unemployed and it trigged a lot of depression issues. While I am not a herd animal, forced isolation is not good for me. And the isolation and being thrown off the team at work is making it worse.

Your work doesn't help you much, as far as I can see.

Getting outside can be such a balm to the soul. I'm not saying throw yourself into a crowd, but I don't know how you don't just go take a walk on the beach every day, living as close as you do. I would be out there in all weather.

So bad news, good news?

Glad you were able to order. And get out of the house.

I need to get out more myself.
