I would go sometimes more than once a week before this started.
And, what has changed the most is not being able to visit my local libraries and bookstores. Some people don’t follow the rules and that is frustrating for my family and I, because we do. Stores I am used to going to only offer curbside pickup or delivery. Everyone has to social distance and wear a mask whenever they go outside or to a store. I have seen many changes in my community. I also have been helping my mom with her grocery purchases in the same way. I also have to help my mom sanitize them and sort them. My job is to make sure he gets all of his groceries and they are bagged properly to go home with him. My mom has been getting his groceries and he comes and picks them up. My uncle has MS and is nervous about going to the grocery store. I have learned the importance of helping others. I miss playing with the neighborhood dogs. It is hard for him because he has been able to visit with everyone since he was a puppy. Banks can’t see his doggy and human friends up close because of the virus. I try to get out every day at lunchtime for a 15-minute play session with Banks on our patio in our backyard. I miss being able to see my peer and staff friends in person.Įvery afternoon my mom and I take Banks for a ride around town. I miss my Thursday classes, Friday night activities and Saturday community trips. I am able to text two of my staff member friends, who I know well. I keep in touch with friends from the program by phone or text. My social club program has also been temporarily shut down. I am a member of a social club program in Marblehead. Not being able see my co-workers and friends from work is very difficult for me. My mom has been volunteering her time to help me with my bank work and we have done quite a few projects. I have been able to do projects from home for him and still get paid for my work. I work for my father at a small bank in Marblehead.
I am a receptionist at a supportive employment agency and have just heard that I may be able to go back in July. I have a learning disability and sometimes it is very difficult to understand what is happening. The virus has disrupted my daily life in many ways. I live in Marblehead, Massachusetts with my parents and European Golden Retriever, Banks. I also still enjoy picture books and still have my favorites in my bookcase. I enjoy young adult fiction, cozy mysteries (with cats), general fiction, family oriented stories and low-key suspense novels. The feeling of actually holding the book verses reading in digital form is very important to me. I am an avid reader and books are a big part of my life. The staff is wonderful, helpful and so kind. Salem Library is my favorite library to visit. I mean,I can see those people on zoom but it is hard not to see them in person. I have been playing with my dogs, coloring and of course, doing school work.
