Are you ready?! …
Cynthia is wearing her face mask and counting down the minutes until she is officially fully vaccinated.
Cynthia: 10, 9, 8 …
Marcy yawns.
Cynthia (excitedly): 7, 6, 5 …
Marcy stretches.
Cynthia: 4, 3, 2 …
Cynthia leaps to her feet.
Cynthia (shouting): One!
Cynthia rips off her face mask and runs out the door to feel the effects of the “full face breeze”.
We hear her “woo hoo-ing” in the apartment courtyard.
penelope kitten enters in a bit of a panic.
penelope kitten (squeaking): who’s woo hoo-ing?
Marcy: Mom.
penelope kitten looks out the window and sees Cynthia .
penelope kitten: gasp. she’s not wearing her mask!

I’ve been feeling pretty okay with not wearing a mask outside (since being fully vaccinated), as long as I’m not in a crowd . But I still have it with me in case I get nervous. It’s like my little security blanket. I wish I looked as cute in it as P-Kitty does!

Not ready to eat inside a restaurant yet or take public transportation.
