    Today I am going home to my family for the first time since Thanksgiving. Just curious, what is your longest time out?

    When the pandemic 1st occurred, I didn't go home for several months. I can't even recall how long it was. It was about 6 months, maybe longer.

    I was typically out 3 months at a time before recently. I think 4 months was my longest. I’m now going home every 6 weeks and thinking of reducing that to 3 weeks.
