We haven't found anywhere here that has to-go margaritas, so I bought everything to make them. I'm trying different recipes

Oh, Sherly, my heart goes out to you!! I'm looking forward to something so minor compared to you. I am praying you'll get to go home to your hubby soon!!!

The stress of it would outweigh the enjoyment, same with most other activities. My employer has mandated WFH through September 1 for all North American employees.
Based on this article which outlines a real-world situation of how one restaurant patron infected 9 people (many of whom were sitting > 6' away) it just makes me super uncomfortable. Until I can get to the point of being at peace should I get infected, I'm just not there yet.

That's totally understandable, Sheri. We all have different comfort levels.

I will be having my first haircut/colour/blow next week in three months and can not wait to get rid of my skunk line down the middle of my head!!
No restaurants/cafes open until June 1, but then with 20 people allowed, 50 by mid June and maybe, if all goes well, 100 by July 1.
Absolutely NO interstate travel yet and as for overseas... we'll be lucky if it is allowed by January next year (except maybe to New Zealand... )
But I did go clothes shopping today... it felt great as I really needed some new winter clothes. The stores are doing everything correct, had all the correct signage up directing distancing etc and I couldn't try anything on, had to bring home, try on and will return what is not suitable.
There is a definite feeling of 'lightness' for want of a better way of putting it, in the air even though almost everyone is really trying hard to keep the physical distancing and doing the right thing.
I will be honest and say, I thank God everyday we live in Australia, we have been very lucky down here, in many many ways, and I just hope that, going into winter, things don't get worse.
stay safe, healthy and happy everyone.xx

How nice to be able to celebrate the holiday with another family, Jo! I'm sure you're looking forward to visiting your hair stylist! I drove past a barber shop this weekend, and their parking lot was PACKED.
