Zoom Fatigue ~ Catching up in person

Oh Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR I so agree! Zooming is fine (for awhile) but there is nothing better then meeting a few friends for a glass of wine on an outside patio and just enjoy each others company!  We are able to do so here in the Phoenix area and happy that we can.  Enjoy your Sunday!

Hello Dorie- - -connections and camaraderie combine create good times.

Hi Dorie- we couldn't wait for our temps here to get a little cooler so we could eat outside. Got our friends to meet us at Chuy's and it was the first time for them to get out. Family celebrated Mini-me's birthday outside and distanced. 

Hi Dorie... love that quote! I'm so zoomed out, I can't stand it anymore! :) We just had a little cocktail hour last Wednesday for the top 20 agents in gross commission for the third quarter... such a treat to have seen people in person! I can't tell you how excited we all were!

Dorie,

We are so FED-UP with the whole Zoom thing.  This afternoon our grand nephew has a recital, so we will watch as we walk on the beach on our phone...not a zoom but a google one.  He lives in Denver.  A

Hi Dorie,
I haven't gotten Zoom fatique yet because I do those meetings when there is no other option. I'm so glad that option is available.  However, getting together in person is always so much more fun. 

Hello Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR - I am so ready for face to face yet I cannot seem to find anyone in my area willing to meet up. I will see my son today for a few hours - have not seen him in months! 

SO TRUE ... Loev This! 
"People inspire you or they drain you. Pick them wisely." Hans Hansen

We recently met up with friends - and one day enjoyed a fabulous meal on the patio of a local eatery. It felt so joyous to be out and about.  Naturally, we had to don our masks prior to sitting down to eat, and when we left, but who cares? We also appreciated the safety protocols put in place by the restaurant. 

Dorie, judging by the photograph, I absolutely love the way you catch up in person!

If a way can be found to safely meet up, it's worth the effort to have the experience.  I'm glad you found that way!

Dorie - it certainly does not replace the personal contact.  Tonight I am meeting with our restaurant networker's group at a restaurant.

Dolores and I are still in the social distancing mode and are not meeting with friends. 

I like your quote selection.

HI Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR 

Thank you for getting out in the public. 

I feel the fabric of our nation is being torn apart by the forced social distancing and mask intimidation going on and I will admit I am not on board with it.

So I stay away from those who live in fear of those of us who do not.

Menard's requires a mask: I have been there twice to buy construction type materials in the last 6 months. Normally would be in there 2-3 times per week.  Go to Ace Hardware instead where masks are not required.

Hy Vee grocery: Although not mandatory...mask shaming is in full bloom and I used to go 2 - 3 times per week and now go once every 8-10 days.  I have been wearing a mask.   Same with our area Sam's Club which mandates but does not enforce.

I stay out of Target and other stores that require the mask.

One observation I have is that people rarely make eye contact anymore or say Hi as you walk down the aisles whether you are wearing a mask or not.  That is not good for our society.

The crazy part of this is the vast majority of people I know that have had the virus wore masks on a regular basis.    I have not had the virus and rarely wear one and am having the best year of my 27 year career.  I truly believe in the human anatomy and the abilities of our immune system.

My next door neighbor had the virus...but his wife, his 90 year old Mother in law who lives with them, and his 4 grandkids who had to stay with them for two weeks never got it. All in the same house and were around him until he went and got tested after he was sick.  

Makes no sense....  I need another bottle of wine!!
