I'm afraid I've begun to enjoy isolation a little too much. Since it all started, I've pieced together a home gym to avoid going to commercial clubs. I've gotten used to the click list to avoid the grocery. I work in my yard or on the house, and have little desire to do much of anything else.
The bad of it for me is the pandemic/civil unrest aspect of social media. I mess around in P&R here, but I generally keep that kind of discussion limited to family, close friends, and people that I feel can take an honest challenge in debate without hurt feelings. I rarely if ever post about politics on social media. I can't say the same for my friends, many of whom have apparently gone off the deep end with politics and conspiracy crap. I don't even feel comfortable talking to them about it. It's greatly effected my views of many people I once genuinely liked for the worse. Sad, really. It's not even a right/left thing. It's just a depressing willingness to believe any lie or stupidity that reinforces their current beliefs.
Otherwise, I did get a bit bummed thinking about the oncoming fall that won't have college football. Football season definitely effects my mental state for the better when it gets here. It's my Christmas/Birthday, really. Life is just better when it comes back, and now it may not. it will be tough to process when September gets here.
