It makes sense. I would assume that eyeglasses would provide substantial protection.
Thankfully three of the four of us wear glasses lol!

What does everyone think about the impact the new variant might have on summer plans? I read this morning that one should have eye protection and masks for all people in an interaction, even when outside and distanced. Got me thinking that my backyard pool visits of last summer may be gone this year.
Interprovincial travel may be out for us for the time being with these variants. Seems my world just keeps shrinking....

Makes me wish I was able to put a pool in the back. I was hoping we'd be able to go to the beach and Calypso water park this summer but I guess not?
In the Florida sun, y'all should. <insert stern parent look emoticon here>Thankfully three of the four of us wear glasses lol!
Our Intex pool was a life saver this summer, especially since we were at home and not at work all summer. I would set my laptop up under the table umbrella and turn up the volume. If I heard an email "ping" I would hop out of the pool, reply to it and then hop back in. Plus, it didn't hurt that the weather was amazing this year!
I already told DH that we ARE buying a nice beautiful outdoor patio set to use this summer. I have MANY pins of items to build to create a backyard retreat to use this summer. Especially since we are not doing a hot holiday. I will use the money I had set aside to create a nice space for this summer. I also want to put in a small fire pit. I have a feeling that travelling in different provinces will not happen this summer. I want to have a nice space to retreat to and enjoy the summer and beautiful weather when we get it.Our Intex pool was a life saver this summer, especially since we were at home and not at work all summer.

I'm right there with you. I refuse to think that summer could be horrible when it's only early February. I'm going to stick my fingers in my ear and ignore itI’m just gonna live in denial and tell myself that things will get better by summer. I want to at least get to go to wonderland.

You made me laugh out loud. Maybe I should try this approach!This is my reaction to the new variants
It's so depressing to think it might get worse
Because lots of amazingly beautiful places all over the world are affordable? It's not expensive because it's beautiful, it's expensive because it's Canada. But, definitely correct that it's not cheap place to live!
Travel can be very cheap. I went to Myrtle Beach last March and it cost us $1500 US for the week. Travel doesn't have to be that expensive. For me I always fly out of Buffalo NY as it's much cheaper and as far as hotels go, for me it's just a place to sleep. We usually get a hotel that's no more $120 a night.Where in the world are you travelling where the cost is so low? Travel is expensive in my experience, between getting there and everything else once you are there. If you are travelling to very economically disadvantaged countries, then of course it will seem "cheaper" in our dollars - but there's still a cost to get there, etc.

I seriously considered getting one last summer (I saw they sold out fast), but DH didn’t want it to wreck our grass and my teens thought it would be lame because everyone else has an in ground backyard pool, ie. our neighbours behind/beside us. If my kids were much younger I’d get one of those smaller inflatable ones for sure.
Yes, we did make a crusher dust pool pad with lumber outline for it. However, the grass is still alive and well under it (we didnt dig out the earth, just added it over top). The pool is used 90% by DH and I and we love it. Beer, music and floating is just perfect for us. It is 15x48 so a good size.
