close far apart far

I was having almost nightly video chats with friends and family, until it all lurched to a halt this week.
What happened, I don't know.
Weariness maybe.
Boredom.
Other video chats.
It's tedious, I don't deny it, for those of us still working and bouncing from Zoom to Zoom all day for work, and then again in the evenings.
Suddenly everyone wanted to take a break. They're busy again (how?).
Or depressed. (Yeah.) Or just--not into it.
But.
I miss the weekly cocktail hour with one friend group, the family get togethers, the chance to laugh a little and catch up and feel less alone.
It was something to look forward to.
I'm hopeful it'll happen again soon.
