forestofglory Right now my experience of the built enviroment is full of uncertainly. Locally case numbers are low and vaccination rates are high. California is officially "open". However I just feel like everything is changing and I never know what will be open, or how open it will be.
We feel comfortable with some outdoor dinning, but its really hard to plan for. Which restaurants have outdoor dinning is changing pretty fast. Some places have outdoor dinning that didn't before the pandemic, but some places that had outdoor dinning while restrictions where in place, no longer have it. Last time R and I went out to lunch we ended up picking an area with many restaurants an walking around until we found something we liked.
The library is now open for in person browsing, but for much fewer hours. Since I only want to be able to go and pick up my holds, its less convenient for me. I hope the library staff like the new arrangement.
It's not just the built enviroment that feels uncertain. I'm constantly worrying about if I'm making good choices with regards to covid, if my county is, if my state is. But the uncertainly feels especially present when I'm out of the house, trying to do things that used to be "normal"
