Weekend plan

m_d_hTomorrow is Dax Vet Day. This evening T cooked dinner and then we discussed our goals for tomorrow's appointment -- we're on the same page. Dax has improved since Sunday afternoon -- I'm not sure what happened last weekend while I was gone, but he's fine now. Makes me wonder whether there was some drama at the house that upset the pets but that I never heard about. Anyway. Probably Dax just ate something he shouldn't have, again, which led T to freak out. It can be scary when Dax is feeling sick.
T had wanted more emotional support this week, and more of a focus on yard work. So my plan is to accompany him to the vet tomorrow afternoon, even though we have to sit out in the car. Then I'll stay at the house Friday night, then Saturday morning I'll do some yard work. After that I'll Metro to the condo for one night.
I lifted weights this morning, that's been going very well, probably better than since before I moved in with T, having our own basement gym is awesome. Tomorrow morning I hope to run for the third time this week, the weather has been perfect for running. So the current weekly routine is three runs, a yoga, and a weightlifting, for five days of exercise per week. Although yard work on Saturday morning will also be an informal sort of exercise. But I hope to turn the yard wark back over to the hispanic labor crew after we implement our current goals.

My day job is work. I do the work, they pay me, and I generally don't hate it. I'm dreading looking at my 6-month evaluation after my last annual contained the two downvotes. I'll wait until at least next week so the contents don't bother my Saturday Night to Self.
-----
Today I hit P1+14, two weeks since my first shot, so now I'm definitely in the 80%-protected zone. But my life hasn't changed at all yet. My first change will be riding Metro on Saturday/Sunday. But then next week I'm getting P2 on Thursday morning, so I might be having the usually-worse second round of side effects, so I'm making no plans for next weekend. I'll hit 90% at P2+7 so it's the following weekend when I may schedule a date/hookup. Sir Ben wants to wait until P2+14, so there's a window where I might make a date with somebody else before my first date with him. I've already decided I want my first orgasm with him, if he'll permit one, he'll get the right of first refusal. After that first Sir Ben date, any fella can give me permission to cum -- any fella except Bug.
I don't think I'll be in a rush to get back onto the hookup apps, I think first I'll explore hookups and dates with the people I already know or whose contact info I already have from before.
And then it will become time to plan a trip to Portland, and/or for K to plan a trip to DC.

I saw a Gallup poll showing that most fully-vaccinated people are not rushing back to normal immediately, most are still social distancing, wearing masks, and avoiding large gatherings. I think I'll be the same way for a while. Mainly because the shots are not 100% and the 7-day average number of cases is GROWING again in the US. I'll ease into a gentle new normal in which I schedule some one-on-one social events on the weekends, maybe have a couple people over to the house for dinner & games. Stuff like that. Nothing big until all who want their shots have received them and cases are diminishing.
There will be pressure to hang out with family again, but I'm not sure about a big gathering with all the siblings and all their kids while kids still can't get the shots. And I suspect my youngest brother's family may go unvaccinated because they're avid Republicans. So, maybe I'll visit each of my sisters separately over the next few months, mixing with one household at a time. And my local ex-sister-in-law's family
Metro and mixing with one household at a time. A professional haircut when it grows out again. And I'll start catching up on stuff like dentist, annual physical, car maintenance, renewing drivers license. That's the plan. No movie theaters, concerts, football games, bars, crowded parties, indoor restaurants. Nothing big like that until later this year or maybe after the kids can get shots also.
