The above picture was taken on the Old Croton Aqueduct path. Considering how many people have been out and about, now that the nice days are here, I usually have to travel far to find nice places to walk and get back into shape.
I've decided to reopen this blog, so that I can continue to journal my life as quarantine is gradually being lifted. At first, I won't be publishing daily posts, as I don't have that much to say. In addition, I won't have much to say about either of my two formerly closest friends, now that bridges have been burnt.

To catch the casual reader of this blog up to date, quarantine has been hell for me, as I've been dealing with grief caused by the loss (not death) of my two closest friends, the death of my father, and the virtual shutdown of my social life due to the quarantine. I won't go into details, save that anger made me a person I didn't like being, and I had to decide to let go of many things so that I could move forward with my life.
Since I don't know if my ex will read this blog or not, let's simply say that before the quarantine, I had a couple of nice dates with a nice woman, but things didn't work out. Lately, I've had some pleasant calls with other women, and it would be nice to see them after quarantine ends.
Work at the census bureau has started to return, and I'm still adding money to my bank account. If all goes right, I'll have saved up enough, that by the end of the year, I can take a Hawaiian cruise. However, this poses several interesting issues. I want to take the 3 day land + 7 day sea cruise tour deal, but an ex girlfriend from 23 years ago will be on that cruise with 3 of her girlfriends. Should I take it and out myself to her first? Or, should I simply go on the cruise and say nothing? (I'm assuming that she will not recognize me as Marian.) I'm gambling both that the net price for this cruise will drop due to cancellations, etc., and that things will open up for cruising in the fall.

So much I could say, but not the time to collect my thoughts. More later....

Welcome back, but I am very sorry for your losses.
Welcome back Marian.
I worried when your blog went away. I knew there were challenges and I feared the worst. It is a relief to welcome you back.
Much love,
Heather.
Welcome back
I look forward to your periodic updates. We have been sheltered down in NJ and I have not been back in your neck of the woods for over 2 months. I used to take the kids on the Croton Dam.
