Decisions...
Mar. 11th, 2021 10:11 amDecision 1: I am not into Falcon and that section of MCU, but should I cave, get D+ and watch it because every I know is going to be talking about it? It would be fun to join in the thing everyone is going to be all excited about.
Decision 2: I do not trust the April vaccine availability announcement. Still, things are improving here. I've been considering a contactless AB&B in another part of the Greater Portland Area for a while. I could do the whole trip with no contact if I need to. I'm mostly worried about being seen as a jerk for doing anything travel-like while either a) we are maybe finally killing this pandemic thing or b) by then maybe stuff has gone sideways and gotten worse. A week with a different starting point for my photowalks in late May seems very feasible, though.
Right now I wont even go into downtown for new hiking boots, even though I've realized I do need them. I haven't worn through the soles, but I've wrecked them enough that they aren't good for my feets anymore. And, yeah, zero tread.
After a year of travel being dangerous, most things being impossible, repeatedly defending myself to my therapist who kept pushing travel as a way to deal with stress and who treated me as paranoid for not travelling, downvoting every coronacationer on reddit, etc it's very weird weird to switch my mindset to 'yeah, that actually looks do-able'.
