I miss going out to restaurants but not gonna be racing back only because they've jumped the gun on opening back up for sit down service.

I desperately need the DMV to open.

I got my certificate to pass the driving exam for my moto license, I just need to go in and do the written test.

I've got my bike and all my motocamping gear ready to go, but I'm not about ready to start riding dirty on long sessions.

Good for you, that is awesome. :thumbup

I really can't complain. I have a nice little place that's very comfortable and a yard to boot. Not only that, I have a TV set up in the detached garage for working out (even though it smells a little like unleaded all the time). My biggest problem is a desk-to-refrigerator-proximity issue. But... I miss this little second-hand store I visit in my neighborhood every weekend. There's a lady that works there on Saturdays and I always come by and say hi. She broke her hip right before Covid, and I'm worried about her. I want to see Clara back behind the counter with her hot pink lipstick from the 50's and her crazy bleach-blonde hair.

That is so cute...!!

I have some older friends that I have not seen either. None have hot pink lipstick, but they have their own little pieces of flamboyance!

Grandparents were such a huge part of my life as a kid. I lost the last one several years ago, but I have some "adopted" ones, like Clara. That's one of the real tragedies of Covid--the loss of this older generation, their wisdom, their history.

My husband's grandmother has suffered a minor stroke during this pandemic, so the other place I'd like to have open is her nursing home. No visitors for months for her probably. I think it's hard on her. She's all alone all day. She hasn't complained once. Pretty ballsy lady. I'd be scared out of my mind, lonely, and whining non-stop.

Need a haircut but don't really care. I'm not going anywhere where I need to look that clean anytime soon.

Hats are a thing.

Local watering hole and BJJ gym I'd like to open sooner than later.

DucatiHoney and budman thank you for the reminder of the everyday joys of people. I got caught up in places forgetting the people I see in the neighborhood. Lefty I’m also in need of a pedicure which is next door to my place and when I slack off shaving my head Nena cuts my hair in the same shop. Been trying to be a regular at a local coffee shop but not on a name basis yet. I wonder if a mask decreases recognition? Hoping I don’t get to figure that one out.

Not Bibas but instead Allora. It is one kickass Italian place, a bit upscale in food unlike Vincents which is more homestyle.
When I can go I'll sit at the bar and hang out with my favorite waitress/bartenderess.

I dunno, picnicking at The Junction seemed effective. Just nowhere to pee! :D

Spoke to my sensei about opening up the karate dojo and he's hoping 2nd week of June. I teach there, and he wanted to see if I wanted to remain on my old schedule. We hope were not lumped into the gym protocol.

In terms of my MMA gym, I don't see that happening until phase 4, however, I train and partially coach striking, which we can do using social distancing. Just no partner drills or sparring. For the BJJ guys, unless you just work on form a ghost drilling, I can't see training partnerless - maybe a rolling dummy? Us strikers have bags and such to hit.

But yeah, I'd like my martial arts training places to reopen. I also miss teaching kids.

This is exactly where I'm at.

I still enjoy zoom training sessions for karate but I'm over it for jiu jitsu. I can wait. The extended time off ain't ideal it is what it is. Small potatoes of a concern in light of everything else going on.

I want people to go back to work so I can enjoy my weekdays off again is all. I want the grocery store to myself again, I want hollister hills to myself again, I want the hiking trail to myself again, I want the roads to myself again.
