Is everyone surving that pandemic with winter thrown in?
I still say I don't think I would have survived the pandemic with my ex. Or maybe I should say I don't think he would have 🤣. Pandemics suck but much rather be stuck inside with someone who is truly my best friend and the fact that we have sex definitely gives options on that to do with the free time to🤣. We are also working on house projects.

It feels to me that many people, myself included, have fallen a little into a Covid funk. Low energy, many of the things we would be looking forward to Spring/Summer are unknown, house projects getting old : )

I hear you. Once it got to cold for outdoor music and dining and even little hikes the funk kind of set in. Excited about the new kitchen island but everything is on delay with covid. Bought a couch in Nov not getting it until April. We bought a pool hoping for a spring install but may be mid summer. Hard to plan a vacation when you don't know what the restrictions will be.

It has been raining on and off it seems steadily for 2 months here in NC. So I am just sitting here absorbing my resent Covid19 inoculation and making antibodies.

I've been sad for weeks even though it's perfect weather where I live in Mexico. While it's perfect weather outside -- temps around 75, low humidity -- I've basically been shut in for almost a year. I miss socializing in the real world. I miss the outside activities that used to keep me busy all day. I take a lot of acting classes on Zoom now, and have met lots of people that way. But it's not the same as having friends in my area whom I get to interact with in person. I'm very grateful to be out of my SM because it would be awful to be shut up with my ex, a man who wouldn't miss not seeing other people. I'm grateful for post SM partner, who is supportive and also misses interacting with others. But this quarantine is a very tough time and, from the slowness in which Mexico is getting the vaccine, will probably last until at least late fall.

ballofconfusion and I live in Houston and just made it through this delightful week of sub-freezing temperatures with no power. It makes a world of difference when you can snuggle up together under the covers with someone you love. Body heat kicks ass! The thought of being with with my ex during something like this? Well that simply makes me shiver.

I did better when it was warm at least we could take walks. And go with friends and sit outside and listen to music and eat. But it got to cold for that and by Nov the cases were high and are just now coming down . I miss my friends and I even miss going to the gym. I've gained 12 lbs . Missouri is slow in getting people vaccinated will probably be early summer. Everything is delayed. Hoping our pool gets put in before summer is over. The is couch we ordered in Nov is getting delivered in April. So over covid |

Well that simply makes me shiver. So glad for both of you!! I'm sure there is a warmth that radiates from the glow of your faces every day ,when two of you wake up to each other, and then again, at the end of the day! Here's to new beginnings! A fine example for your children of what a loving , trusting, intimate relationship ought to be! |

We are also working on house projects. Yes. This whole Covid lockdown has made things quieter. Meanwhile , I remember thinking, "I'm going to like this." Being home, alone with my woman,and less travelling, and few interruptions. I try to not even think about life during covid with my ex. We were already living very isolated and distant lives from each other. It's also been a year to get some major renovations done on my properties. Me and my woman, and/or my handyman. Covid did not slow us down! (only the waiting for appliances) |

I agree about being so over Covid. As of 2/20 it’s been two years since I divorced and I’m a lot happier and in school again full time, mostly online but some on campus so that keeps me busy. I am looking forward to getting back out in the dating world after this is over.

There's been a precipitous drop in new Covid cases lately. I'm hoping it's petering out, like the "Spanish flu" did after its third season, never to be seen again. Wishful thinking, maybe, but you don't hear much of SARS or MERS lately either.
I'm patiently awaiting the end of this. I miss the social aspects of my sex life. I'm not even sure I can begin to explain that.
Other than that, while the world has been falling apart, I am doing fine. The panic in the market last year was a real crisis, and I have learned to never let a crisis go to waste. Business is busy, and I make plenty of time for my beloved girlfriend. As unconventional as my life is, it's all in balance.

I changed insurance providers a couple months ago. The company I had been with for 30 yrs. just keep raising rates 5-6% a year and so it became pretty expensive. The new insurer ask me if I had a dog. Yes I answered, a Heinz. He ask, "Is that a large breed"? No I said, "she weighs about 30 lbs., and just so you know, a Heinz is is a dog of 57 varieties".

So, a few days ago, I bit into a hard pizza crust and felt something even harder than the crust poke the roof of my mouth. Upon inspection, it turned out to be a piece of tooth. 😱🙁🤦♀️
Among my character flaws is an excessive fear of dentists. No, I have not been going for biannual cleanings for longer than I care to admit.
Off to the dentist I went with my tooth piece, hoping it could be cemented back in. Nope. After lecturing me soundly about my lengthy absence from her practice, the dentist informed me that the whole tooth, in all likelihood, cannot be saved. Yes I'm embarrassed. I have a decayed tooth rotting in my head. That is no way to live and it's my own fault.
So, gah. Now I am looking at needing $10k plus of dental work. Ouch.
Oh. The dentist prescribed me antibiotics, too. I now feel a lot better, which makes me think I've been rotting for quite some time. 🙄😔 Lesson learned: don't avoid the dentist! Some of us don't use our mouths too much now, but one day we might need them for kissing and stuff. No one wants to kiss a mouth full of rot!
