Hey guys! I'm trying to be active again after a long break.

During the initial lockdown, my whole work life switched over to the computer like a lot of other people. My computer used to be reserved for my chill out time, but it turned into working all the time. I thought it would get better when I hit my break, but then all of my trainings were online. Then, I thought it would get better once the year started, but I was hybrid- half online/half in person all at once every single day. It was mentally exhausting.

I couldn't even fathom looking at my computer screen anymore- even for fun things.

I wound up quitting everything I enjoyed- modding on voltra, reading on my phone, interacting on social media, cooking/baking, organizing, and anything more than the bare minimum functions. I made sure everyone else in my family was doing well physically and emotionally and didn't have much left for myself.

I'm just now getting back to the point that I can separate work and fun. My house is clean again. I'm reading again and I can look at my computer again. I've been told I won't be hybrid come August and I feel like I can finally start doing things I enjoy again. :vivi-celebrate:

I hope you guys have handled this past year and a half better than I have.

@totalanimefan: I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you! There is just nothing better than a clean house. All of my stress melts when I walk in the door and my house is clean. How long has it been since you and your mom were able to visit?

@totalanimefan: We’re pretty much open fully! Masks are optional. I haven’t gotten the vaccine yet because my body will sometimes react oddly to things and I’m sort of just waiting it out and seeing what my employer decides. I stay home most of the time anyway until august that is…

I’m happy that you’ll be able to spend time with your mom!
