So I haven’t flown since 2019, and riding the airplane is the last normal thing I need to do in order to reintegrate into society, I think.
I’m generally okay with riding the bus as long as it’s not too crowded and I can stand in long lines okay without holding my breath now. I attended one concert and I have another one coming up in September. The last time I got to sit in the aisle so I was okay with that but I’m not sure where exactly I’ll sit this time so hopefully it doesn’t make me panic. But I think I can do it, I’m mostly okay with eating at restaurants now but I do it sparingly.
I will buy airplane tickets this weekend for a 1 hr flight for a family event and I’m not scared of the event, just the flight. I’m feeling mostly good about being able to do it without winding up on the news for doing a public freak out. It’s short, so it should be easy. I think I’m robust enough to handle and recover from a respiratory illness now just in case I catch something.
Fair enough. Both are vehicles are comfortable though. Plus my spouse makes me stop about every 3.5 miles to have a pee.
Relevant, they have a volvo, and the base of the front seats have this pull out extension (makes the base of the seat longer). that makes a huge difference to comfort, having customizable leg support. never seen it in another vehicle that I’ve driven.
Also relevant, that reminds me, the spouse’s car needs new wiper blades and topped up on washer fluid. (makes note for tomorrow).
Serious suggestion: recline the seat ever so slightly. It makes a massive difference in how comfortable you are. The default is so upright it’s very uncomfortable in most cars.
I considered driving because I wanted to view the fall leaves along the way, but then we decided we kind of need to just do the event and come back asap so we’re flying.
