Has the pandemic changed you?

I use to be a get up and go type of person. Then the pandemic hit us. First it was the lockdowns. Then stores just were not open. When they finally did open I was scared of getting the disease so I stayed away. I started sitting home more and streaming TV. Now two and a half years later I just want to sit in my recliner. No need to do whatever today. I'll get to that tomorrow or the next day. I never use to be like this.

Currently I need to clean the interior of the RV. We live in hurricane ally and September is the most active month of hurricane season. Whenever they have one forecasted to hit us we load the RV and leave town. Sadly my wife has had some health issues and we haven't used the RV since last October. Normally we take the RV out a couple of times a month so the interior gets cleaned regularly, but not this past year. The exterior has been washed and waxed. The chassis has been serviced. Now I just need to do the interior. For some reason I have been putting it off for a couple of weeks now. I seem to have lost my get up and go since the pandemic. Has this happened to anyone else?

It's made me want to leave the city

@Stereoguy It would be a huge thing for us, and sadly a huge cut in my pay if I were to move out

@V00doo same. I actually moved back to my home town. To spend more time with family, that I took for granted in the past and didn't quite appreciate, as I should have, no matter what happened in the past.
Anyway I'm feeling way better now, and I haven't had any cynical thoughts in a while. Also I'm working on my learnt behaviours. Losing bad ones and adding good ones.
@Dan193 Feel better for it? My parents moved in with us just before, dad was due surgery, and theyre still here. Ive slowed down, a lot.
