My hair stylist who always wears a mask at work, and she let me know she had been vaxed and boosted.

Restaurant staff who work around my food allergy so I can actually get something to eat when I order food.

Grocery delivery folks who bring me groceries during ice and snowy weather when I cannot get out due to osteoporosis (fall risk.)

These folks have provided a valuable service to me and I want to let them know I appreciate them.

Since the pandemic started, I have not been spending much money, so the increased tips fit in my budget.
