Or, your Day 2 of the May Canadian Holiday Weekend Open Thread.

Today we decided to take advantage of the relaxed restrictions to invite some friends over for dinner & drinks. The great thing about the three day weekend is that you can Sunday drink with no ramifications. (I realize most of us drink on Sundays, but there usually are consequences on Monday, so the extension really is a benefit.) And drinking with people you like makes for a generally overall positive experience.

The downside is when one person gets the inevitable cough, either from laughter or they got a dog hair in the throat. There’s already the initial uncomfortability of just having the hack-fit in front of friends, but now there’s the back-of-your-mind thought of, ‘what if they think I have COVID?’ followed swiftly by ‘OH GOD, DO I HAVE THE COVID?!’.

Luckily, having a backyard means everyone could keep a comfortable distance, so all that was needed was asking if they needed a non-alcoholic drink to solve that problem. Strangers would have been a completely different situation – but why would I have had strangers over to my house in the first place? I hate most everyone I don’t know.
