Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3656979, member: 199"] Fun reading everyone's stories. Retired as soon as the affordable care act passed as I have type 2 diabetes and could not have gotten private insurance before (just transitioned onto Medicare.) For me it has been a lot of reading, computer surfing, and watching the garden grow. I get out once or twice a week to pick up mail and do shopping and here in Storrs, CT I have been impressed that I have yet to see an unmasked face since March. I am significantly worried about Uconn students flooding town in the next weeks, but I have a bolthole in central NH on the Maine border that I can run to. Tiny town that gets tinier post August. I miss my usual travel - have always self toured, but my sister swears by OAT - tempted to give it a whirl when I feel safer about this disease. Luckily I too had made a winter trip to visit another sister who lives on Maui in late Feb just as people were beginning to notice what was happening in Asia. I did just go to VT for a care-giving visit to a cousin near Mt. Ascutney - she had just had a knee replacement and her husband is an ER doctor and works 24 hour shifts. It was a really fun visit - the cousin is recovering well, and socializing with anyone was strange after being basically a hermit for 5 months. [/QUOTE]
