1. Fantasizing about plans for Christmas 2022, when I'm hoping to be able to travel to see family and friends. I'm stuck isolating yet another year - year #3, with some efforts to deal with my pandemic-made agoraphobia.

2. Keeping my January 2022 appointments, which includes my dental appointments at the VA, even though I'm deathly afraid of going. I'm also seeing my eye doctor that month, and I think it's before I see the dentist, which is a good thing. I also have plans on seeing an eye doctor in the community with my new eye care plan, so that I can get transitional or bifocal or trifocal contact lenses. I miss contacts and putting on at least eye cosmetics.

3. Planning continued walks with my recreational rehabilitation therapist at the VA. She meets me outside and in front of my apartment complex to walk anywhere between 30 minutes and 60 minutes. I will hopefully see her this Friday. I will also schedule more time either this month or in January - until I can get used to walking outside on my own.

4. Planning an outing with my recreational rehabilitation therapist at the VA for either January or February 2022, to help me learn how to dine in the coffee shop across from where I live. We might do it in two phases - the first would be us ordering for takeout, and then having me try to go maskless while outside and social distancing and trying out the coffee to go (with the plan of wiping down the lid and the cup with a sanitizing clorox wipe). The next phase will be me trying to dine in the coffee shop for 15 minutes to 1/2 an hour. That will be tough though; I'm not sure I will be able to do that unless there is less than 5% test positivity in our area.

5. Continuing my plans to organize and clean my apartment and storage areas. I might add the extra storage space this month, to be prorated and charged on my next month's rent bill. That extra space will enable me to move some things around while I'm cleaning and organizing certain areas. I have so much stuff! I need to make a donation plan as well, which is part of this process.
