Hi there.

Happy late Valentine's Day. 😊  I  didn't realize that I had been away from writing here for more than a month, and now I have been in the year 2022 already! 

Blame my getting old. ^^

There are several issues I love to talk about, yet my brain today seems too cloudy. Thus, I had better not make you my readers get headache because of my confusion.

Since the beginning of this new year, there have been several stories of bad news and good news in various areas.  One of them is that Covid-19 infection continues to be with us and no one can tell when it will end, according to many news sources worldwide. Still, good news is there are fewer severe cases and a larger number of people in Thailand have got vaccination. Recently, small kids were the latest targets for vaccination following their parents' approvals and permissions.

Until today, the majority of Thai people have received at least two shots of covid-19 vaccines, and not a few already had four shots. The latter are those who are risky to a chance of getting infected easily such as medical or health-care professions. Besides, most people, although worried about the disease, adjust themselves and return to new-normal living style. Like them, I always have a bottle of alcohol spray, and a mask when going out.  I avoid crowds as possible. I won't go out if not necessary.  Once I arrive at home, I hurry to take a bath and wash my hair first. 

That is not a kind of life style I ever dreamed for, but I have to accept it for safety reason. I know it's not just me who have to embrace this "new normal". Alcohol and mask become necessity for us. I have no idea when we will be able to go out without a mask and alcohol spray. I just hope for the days I can go out with light head and lead my normal life as I once did will come again soon. 

Be in good health everyone.
