I want to hear about how you left your mail in the box for several days before you picked it up and stuff like that.

Only shopped for groceries every 2 weeks.

Only left the house at all once every 2 weeks.

Didn't see anyone at all for 3 months straight, and even then it was only twice between March, and July of 2020.

I still don't think I've fully recovered from that tbh.

I was considered an essential worker, and so I toddled off to work every day as usual. I remember while my spouse was driving me in how eerie it seemed with how quiet the city was, and seeing 68 cents per liter gasoline prices was such a shock. The quiet was what really got to me.

I was, too, they just sent us to work from home. I had some contact with coworkers, but not very much, and it was on a recorded phone line where professionalism was expected, and an average handle time was enforced, so not like you could have any real conversations
