This drives me crazy as well! I was trying to speculate on if the vets/staff are happy they don't have to deal with people in the office!

Of course, I want to see family. Mine lives across the country so it just hasn't been feasible.

But on the more petty side, I desperately want to pick out a fancy outfit, spend forever doing a full face of make up and curling my hair, and go out on the town. I hate that I never have any reason to look really nice anymore. My "fancy" make up is just languishing away...
