I am wondering how are others/other families coping with this. What kind of impact did all this have on your life?
Things that seemed not important now get me quite upset (like my roommate leaving dirty dishes in the sink or over using common spaces).
I'm still working, from home, so I spend the most of my days between my bed and my desk.
I'm starting to feel pain in my lower back in the morning.
I'm swinging between the idea of buying a place just for myself and the idea of going living in the woods.
I wasted quite a bit of money on delivery food in the first period. Now I'm spending very little.
I've had a period where I drank at least a can of beer every day. Now I stopped because that was getting out of hand.
I have very little to do besides work and maybe reading yet I despise and loathe phone calls. My relatives keep me on the phone for like 45 minutes every time. 45 minutes of nothing (because there's no big news really).
FUCK PEOPLE ARE LOUD. THE NEIGHBORS ARE LOUD. WHY DON'T PEOPLE USE HEADPHONES? WHY DO PEOPLE SCREAM AT ALEXA?
Lockdown is officially lifted but things aren't well enough yet. But I see people walking around with incorrectly worn masks and I have to try very hard not to lose my temper at such people.
When I go to the grocery store I often see old people (at higher risk) that could have asked for free delivery buying like 2-3 things. I get some unpleasant thoughts that I won't write here.
What impact has this had on my life? Probably makinflg me realize that space is super important. I don't want to share my spaces anymore. I want my own spaces. Fuck sharing a flat.
I'm generally carrying on, because I know that after all I haven't been infected (don't know really, I haven't been tested) and I got to keep my job (and salary). But I'm having an harder and harder time at keeping calm.
