Actually so did I.

Isolating didn't bother me much.

It was definitely the silver lining for us introverts.

Or single people used to being by themselves.

I am still in covid mode, love being without people- except husband. He's pretty good!! If i have a week with 2 zoom one on one meetings and then an in person and some phone chats, I am exhausted and need 5 days with nothing scheduled. I used to be busy, busy, working, meetings, dinners with friends...no more.

I am with you. I need time to recover even when my own kids come to visit. As far as work goes, I don't think I could ever go back to that intense way of life and all that travel. And I have no desire to.

I ASKED/VOLUNTEERED to have my hours cut, take time off from work during covid. Instead, my hours went way up. Then Steve died and I was given seven days to get all the PPP stuff together (that the two owners had pitched), while being asked to move into his house, take care of the pet and help with the estate.

Then I was put on his salary, which became a pay cut, while giving up tips (when they were at the highest ever, while before, people assumed I was related to the owners and I was lucky to get five dollars a day in tips).

Covid cost me a lot of money and time.

I do like to chill by myself especially after the recently very stressful days at work the past few months.

I was still working - warehousing job at that point. Didn't feel like isolation so much when I schlepped out every day.
