I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

Howdy.

How are you doing?  I'm doing a little catching up...

Everybody, giving happy thanks!

Christmas 2020:

Christmas has always sucked. This year it will suck harder than ever.

I donno, for a person that isn't fond of all the gatherings and stuff,  having a an 'excuse' that wont piss family off, is a good thing.

Oh, i like my family well enough and do visit them often, its just that i dont like formal gatherings.

I was about to say just that.

I can't stand most of my family, so any pandemic that prevents me from having to stand them is worth it, no matter how many millions die.

My siblings and I are close - I haven't seen my brothers since June when our uncle died. 
I really miss them. Fortunately, my parents, aunt, brothers, and sisters-in-law have had the first dose of the vaccine. 
My sister and I are waiting our turn (likely another 2-3 weeks) 

It'll be so nice to be able to hug everyone again!

Everyone thinks I'm an extrovert. I like the convenience of a society - but I'd be fine in a Yurt with 200 miles of rugged, unpaved Montana between me and the next human in every direction - for a long time. 

I like my immediate family - and I mean *immediate* - but, I'd even do OK all alone. 

Social isolation has been wonderful. I don't have to hang out with people I don't care about and fake being interested in their lives, as often.

I know I am a selfish fuck, but I like the fact I can keep my distance from people in a socially acceptable way.

There is only one human I wan at hugging distance. Horses and dogs are welcome to the hugging zone, however.
