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?

No, the pandemic hasn't changed me at all by God's grace not because I'm so special or anything. I had a travel job that actually ramped up during the first year of the pandemic so I was thrust into chaos.

I wore a mask everywhere for 2 yrs and didn't visit my mom often as usual but otherwise lived as normal flying place to place as an essential worker.
Last week a couple of the employees that I was training left sick with confirmed COVID and still I did not catch C19.
Thank God.

@Stereoguy My background is in laboratory science so I went around helping labs set up new tests during the pandemic, military bases, hospitals, universities. Sometimes walking thru long lines of sick people in the beginning. Being near thousands of samples.
