OMG guys, we are back to sitting at the BAR on a Friday night!!!
Oh, how much I have missed this!! Sure, I have enjoyed outdoor dining on Friday nights, the big white tents set up in parking lots have made me feel like I was vacationing on Cape Cod. It was a treat and I enjoyed every minute of it.
But it’s now almost mid-October and it’s getting damn cold out there after the sun goes down. (Don’t even get me started about how early the sun sets here during the fall, I’m seriously ready to pack all my shit and move to Florida, I just can’t take the dark and this chilly weather.) So I’m thrilled to be able to sit inside, and not at a little table next to the bar, but at the actually bar! My husband thinks the plexiglass barrier is odd, but I’d surround myself in plexiglass if it meant that I can go out and do something normal on a Friday night!!
I was so happy to be at our local Irish pub on a Friday night, just like back in “normal” times! Sure it wasn’t packed like it used to be, and we didn’t see all of our Friday night friends (we did see two!!), but it was as close to normal as we’ve gotten in a long time.
Until my husband started nagging me to finish my beer and get our check — there was a baseball game that he just had to rush back home so he could see the last 3 innings. Because we haven’t been stuck at home enough in the past 7 months…
But I guess him wanting to head back home just made the night feel even more like normal…
