Posted June 30, 2020 I cannot believe it's already July. What are some of your favorite things that you will be missing out on because of the COVID thing going around? Mine is/was -- having to cancel my San Fransico trip, going out to eat and people watching, and concerts. I am actually kind of grateful I didn't buy concert tickets. Hoping that I can live out a few concert dreams next year. *Fingers crossed* 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Red Rocks concerts, vacation (I was hoping for somewhere like Cancun), family dinners, eating out with friends, and on and on. Sometimes it sucks being single (and sometimes it's great). Edited July 1, 2020 by pfunk spelling 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2020 Had to cancel our trip to Mexico. We go every year for a couple of weeks. But not this year. A nephew just tested positive for Covid, so no 4th of July family cookout. Getting tired of watching movies on Netflix and Amazon. Just not the same experience. And hard to believe, but I miss going into the office. (well - not that much) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 1, 2020 i miss living the way i used to - i got very comfortable with my life and how i lived it - now so much of it is out of my control and its just different having to fit into this world's new normal... plus a bit saddened and frustrated that i honestly thought we would be over the hump by now and looking ahead to the holidays for possible round two - how naive i was - this second wave and all these people getting sick is disheartening... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 1, 2020 I too was going to the Bay Area in April and Charlotte last month. The only other thing I really miss is being social around close friends at bars and restaurants, or even on my back deck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2020 Live music, both listening and playing. All the gigs have gone away or put on hold. Miss seeing my friends, face to face, rather than on Zoom. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I miss going to Blackhawk, Rockies games and the simplicity of meeting up with friends for a drink. Thank you for the ladies who have kept your doors open, don't know what might have happened if that was taken away as well... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the pain, covid has my work needing 30 hours in everyday, I turn down more OT than I work but I still see plenty... I can't complain because it's given me more funds to see the ladies as I like and I know plenty of people who still can't work yet. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going out to breakfast/brunch every Saturday morning with my mom and uncle... this list can just keep going on and keeps growing 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be a different cemetery. My grandmother had her birthday July 3.She lives in Illinois and her senior center is in lock down,no one can leave. Obviously she wants to come to Denver for her daughters services. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 5, 2020 It’s definitely difficult to shore up that it’s July. My sis and I are calling it The Summer that Wasn’t. I too miss outdoor festivals and community gatherings. I was hoping for a history vaca back East. Oh well... it will be there when we get to it. I am however grateful to be well, and have those around me well. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
