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?

I lost my parents and had my firstborn at the start of the pandemic so I was way more concerned with that. Moreover, I was certain that covid posed hardly any risk to young and healthy people. I read the science and considered all of the cases I had heard about...I knew/knew of 40+ people who'd had it by June 2020 and none were that ill with it.

I suppose it did make me question our governments more and now I trust them less. I didn't particularly have much trust in them prior to covid though. I don't pay any attention to the mainstream media, especially in regard to health matters. I think it's abhorrent that people have been coerced into having the vaccine, but people (like me) who did refuse aren't going to be vilified for much longer. The reality is that this will all be a dark and distant memory in a couple of years...it's just a shame so many people were so badly impacted by it.

@Stereoguy Thank you ❤️🤗

Well done for making that decision. If I were you I'd just get to cleaning that RV and take it out somewhere ☺️
