That sounds good... I mean thinking back now... So many things I took for granted... Procrastinated... Now I miss them all, frie ds I should have gone to visit... Family gatherings I stayed away from because I was too lazy in bed on Sundays... This lockdown have definitely taught me to take my todo list seriously

I always took walking in a park for granted... Going to shopping malls and window shopping... These days frozen pizza from my fridge taste like plastic... Can't even stand canned foods anymore

The one thing I REALLY want is a haircut.  They are open now in Florida but I am still afraid to go  as I am in the high-risk category.
