ニューヨークのオミクロン株は、ピークアウトしているようだ。
米国に戻った後は、強制隔離もないけれど、
連日マイナス10度が続くと、つい引きこもってしまう。
友人から連絡をもらい、ようやく重い腰を上げる。
彼女の御自宅でお手製ランチをいただきながら、つかの間の休息。
仕事もプライベートも話し足りなかったけれど、
「呼吸の合う人」と過ごす時間は、本当に愛おしい。
激寒の冬、まだ出口が見えないけれど、
Omicron stocks in New York seem to have peaked out.
Once I'm back in the States, there's no forced quarantine.
But when it's minus 10 degrees Celsius every day, I tend to stay indoors.
I finally got a call from a friend and finally got out of my apartment.
We took a short meeting over a homemade lunch at her home.
Though we couldn't talk enough about our business and personal lives,
I love spending time with people who have similar tastes.
It's been a freezing winter, and I still can't see the way out.
But having a friend to walk with is excellent support.
