I got to work from home, I got to actually invest in my living space. I started tailoring my buying to businesses that I wanted to survive. I cooked more. I invested into learning new skills. I spent almost zero time communiting anywhere. I prioritized my health, getting enough sleep. I didn't even get as much as a runny nose for like 2 years.
Honestly, one of the best times of my life.
Generally I don’t shill online but my town just gots its first microbrewery when COViD hit so when I found out they were doing takeout, you better believe I spread the word far and wide. It worked: that business survived.
Of course I accidentally spread negative word about a great Pakistani kebab place, so I shut the hell up and went there every week for the summer. It became a thing with my family, when you couldn’t go places with people and restaurants were closed. We’d walk down to the center of town, order through their app, send one person in to pick up, and have dinner outside on the town common
Yeah I'm pretty nostalgic for it too, sans the whole potential death part haha. I cooked constantly, worked from home, and played classic wow with my homies. It was awesome.
