So being locked up for now a month + has got me REALLY missing freedom.
And I am going nuts.
In the hopes of alleviating the insanity, a few nights ago I went on a Google Flights journey. Wasn't a good idea though, 'cause during these unprecedented times everything is "attainable" and prices are "reasonable"
- except -
when you click further to learn a little more about the vacation location, the first news story that comes up is COVID related.
And that's really a buzz kill.
Like, sure I'm only paying $224 to go on a European excursion,
but COVID may still very well be rampant...?
I don't know if it balances out.
**Sorry. When I looked up a "buzz kill" gif, this came up
(presumably because Mr. Skarsgard has a buzz cut and it kills)
and I cannot just leave this gif where I found it without proper attention. So here is this gif for no reason! **
Applicable gif below!
So yeah, I found a wonderful location

It's part of the Canary Islands (which I had always presumed to be in Oceania - so I learned something new)
It has beautiful beaches
The Beckhams have a house there
It is home to the highest peak in Spain
They have to offer colorful frozen drinks
I am in.
When; however, is a different story.
November seems far enough away.
That was until I read an article that we won't go back to normal around the world until 2022...
Lesson learned: Stop watching / reading / listening to the news.

Either way . . . I'm goin at some point.
But for now: stay home.
