NJ slowly reopening

June 2nd, 2020 at 08:50 pm

They announced yesterday that restaurants can resume outdoor dining on 6/15 and that salons and barbers can reopen on 6/22. I couldn't care less about salons as I cut my own hair and have for years, but the two main things I've missed during quarantine have been the gym and eating out. Gyms are still closed but restaurants will start coming back in 2 weeks.

We are not typically ones to dine outside. My wife has bad allergies and it's rare for the weather to be cooperative. Either it's too hot and humid or too cool or windy or raining. I'm trying to think of the local places we like that have nice outdoor seating areas, especially ones that are covered. That way the sun and/or rain isn't an issue. There is one Italian place nearby that has a great patio space. With social distancing requirements I'm not sure how many people they'll be able to accommodate at a time but if DW is willing, maybe we'll do dinner there one night once things are up and running. They have short rib that is to die for.

Work seems to be gradually picking up, though some days not so much. We saw 22 patients on Thursday and I think they saw 23 on Friday, but then I saw 4 yesterday. However, 2 of our sites that had been closed reopened yesterday so that may have been part of it. I was only in 9-1 today but we had seen 8 when I left so that was decent.

    It at least gives you hope when things start to reopen, doesn't it? Our restaurants in Illinois could just start to offer outside dining, but like your wife, my allergies effect a lot of where I could eat.

    DH got his hair cut today and I could tell he felt pretty good about it.

    Interesting our hair salons are closed but our gym is open. For the gym we have to sign up for a slot online. Only 15 people are allowed at a time but they aren't yet getting even half that. I worry for the gym but have to admit that I'm enjoying having the place to myself sometimes. No waiting for any machine. There are some machines roped off to force distancing and the treadmills and elliptical machines have clear shower curtain 'walls' around them so it feels like working out in a clear cubicle.
