Adjusting To New Normal Prints

"I find wearing a mask helps."

I can't handle too much change so I'm reading a four-year-old magazine while waiting for my telemedicine appointment.

"Sorry Tommy, I'm playing remote today."

"Place your bets! Place your bets!"

"I'll go back to school if you go back to the office."

"I'm learning to live with existence."

The Re-Opening of Schools

"What do you think you're doing? You play with me every day for 15 months, and out of the blue, you're going to work?!"

"You have reached the Office of Status Quo. Relax. No need to listen carefully. Our menu options never change."

"I'm glad you're open again."

"I miss the free food, but it's nice to get our seat back."

'It's taken me time to adjust to the different management style here.'

Our first day of distance learning started off well.

"Sure makes a change from New York!"

I guess I just assumed we'd skip Take your child to work day this year. Chips.

"It's great to be back. I was going a little stir-crazy working all across the country from home."

"To be or not to be."

Just Married

Out of Order.

Pianist wearing face mask.

Post-Pandemic Party

"The power's out again? So what do you do when that happens?"

Lockdown: Where every day is just like the last."

Covid beach

"I like fall because everything goes back to the new normal."

"How weird is it to be finally getting out again?"

"So what did you do during the lockdown?"

"I used to do interiors but these days I take what I can get."

"We are gathered here together in the presence of no one to join this couple in socially distant matrimony."

Refresher course

"Let's see if everyone likes having Christmas, New Year's Eve and Easter on the same day!"

Too bad you had to cancel your party. . .

"No, I'd like to have plans. I just always want the option for them to be cancelled at the last minute due to circumstances outside both parties' control."

Then the mask mandate was lifted and we all had to get used to that again.

"Your dad is still shy... He turns off the light before he takes off his mask!"
