It has always been a struggle for me to spend time outside of the house with my husband, even before the pandemic, because I hate asking anyone to watch my kids. Other than the fact that it’s hard for me to go anywhere without them, there’s only a few people I trust to stay with them.  Now that covid is here, it makes it a million times harder to have date nights. Places are closed, hours of operation have changed and capacity is limited. Most importantly, I DON’T WANT TO BE AROUND PEOPLE!!(This was also me pre-pandemic).

Masks don’t exist for some and covid is a thing of the past for others. It would kill me to know that someone got sick because of me. I know I can’t live like this forever, but it’s only been a year and I’ve seen first hand what can happen when people get this virus, so if staying home is what I have to do, then I’m ok with that.  My question to those of you who are like me is, how do you safely spend some alone time with your significant other? Comment and let me know.
