I am glad you enjoyed The Lost Apothecary. I had hoped I would have started it by now, but hopefully tomorrow. <br /><br />We just shifted to the red tier this week and dine-in is finally allowed. Not that it's stopped most restaurants in the county. They don't even follow the mask and social distance restrictions, so if anything, they probably feel this means they can open up completely. As a result, we'll still be staying away for the most part. I hope you are having a good week too!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-69936706991552635432021-03-18T10:36:08.304-07:002021-03-18T10:36:08.304-07:00Trin - I'll always pick Girl Scouts over Boy S...Trin - I'll always pick Girl Scouts over Boy Scouts for girls, but I know it is a better fit for some families.

My managers say working from home part of the time will continue beyond the pandemic, but no one knows what that will look like. I do imagine we'll be in the office more than we are now though. I have mixed feelings about it. Being able to work from home most of the time throughout this has been a blessing with my daughter having to be home for schooling. <br /><br />My daughter loves the Dork Diaries books. I am enjoying them too. :-) I just wish she'd be willing to read something else in between the books.

Some of the restrictions have been lifted as of this week, and while we aren't ready for the movie theater or dining inside a restaurant, we're taking small steps forward. <br /><br />I almost chose a library career path. Working at the university library during my college years are some of my fondest memories of work. I work in social services now, supervising the child abuse hotline and the county's forensic interviewers.<br /><br />I hope you are enjoying your vacation. Thank you for visiting!

Thank you...Greg - I really enjoyed The Arrangement! Thank you for the birthday wishes for Mouse. My county just moved to the next tier and so more places are opening up. I am less anxious about it this time around than the last time--and clearly that didn't last long since we didn't even make it a month before restrictions were tightened again. Hopefully this time will be different. It feels different, anyway. I am glad you were able to eat out and that the restaurant went through the effort to take precautions. Too many of the restaurants around here don't even bother with social distancing and masks anymore. So, I doubt we'll be eating out in any of them any time soon. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-13057603320593155162021-03-18T07:31:55.692-07:002021-03-18T07:31:55.692-07:00Stacy - I hope this summer will be somewhat more n...Stacy - I hope this summer will be somewhat more normal.

I know it wasn't the birthday she dreamed about for this milestone, but she understands the situation. <br /><br />I am glad you were able to include your mom in your circle early on. My husband and I have been strict about following our state's health mandates and restrictions, which included a travel ban for much of this. We didn't want to risk her health or ours. I was worried initially about her as she lives alone, but, honestly, she's been more social than the three of us. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
