My bff's birthday is today. She probably would have had dinner with her husband, just the two of them, and we wouldn't have seen them anyway. But this year is different. We put her favorite beer on our bi-weekly shopping list and dropped it off at her house this evening with some home made face masks.
It killed me to not run up and give them both big hugs. I got the beer and masks and started to walk up to them when I remembered we are in a pandemic. I stopped halfway and put the beer on the ground and backed away. It was so weird.
I think that little bit of face to face interaction upset the balance we've cultivated.
