Took the family for a walk to the grocery store. Got some Subway for Noah and some tofu soup for Koolyash. My daughter went on a dinner date with a boy. She’s still out now, and I’m readying my shotgun.
And social distancing seems to be a thing of the past, if this restaurant we passed on our walk is any indication.
Maybe it’s some form of PTSD, but I still can’t compute that things could be returning to an actual normal, but that does seem to be what’s going on here. If not for the ever-present masks and the constant temperature checks, nothing would be out of the ordinary on the streets of Shenzhen.
And I don’t mean to sound like a broken record, but I do want to remind you that it took us two months of strict social distancing, staying at home, and quarantine to get us to this point.
We did it. You can do it.
Onward!

I hope you have been taking good care of your shotgun during this time of crisis.
Ha, since I live in China, it is only a metaphorical shotgun. Actually, I teach the boy in a class he needs to graduate, so I think we’re okay. 🙂
Glad to hear you’ve got it under control.
