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?

Yes. It’s changed me a lot. Even in isolation for 2-years, 8 months (mine started in December of 2019 because I had the worse flu ever, and by time I was better, Covid was a thing), I looked forward to just picking up groceries at pick up point because it got me out of the house, now it’s a struggle just to do that. Most weeks, I don’t want to go out. Don’t want to be around other people. It’s like the outside world has become alien to me, and I don’t belong.

But what’s made it worse is the outside world has changed too, and not for the best. Maybe different where you live in the Free State, but this state is Woke, and the signs of Wokeness are everywhere. @Stereoguy
