I understand@BreakForTheLight. I've seen those articles too, how it is tough on young people, or sometimes tough on the elderly, tough on moms, whatever. Nothing about us regular adults just trying to get through the day. We work all week from home and then are trapped at home all weekend. I am Generation X, so I guess I am pretty used to us being ignored.

Yesterday, my husband and I just set aside a day where we just lazed around and did absolutely nothing, but eat junk food and watch TV. We were both at that point where we don't know how much of this we can handle. I had plans to do some stuff around the house, but in the end I didn't. We had used up our one weekend 2 hour permit to take our dog to the vet on Saturday, so we really couldn't do much of anything as it was. Plus the weather was overcast and kind of yucky. The weather this February is nothing like our normal summer weather. It's really foggy first thing in the morning and takes forever to burn off. It's been unusually humid too and we've gotten rain several days. Usually summers are dry, hot, sunny and it never rains.

We were thinking back to last year at this time. It was the one little window of normalcy we had. In September 2019 I went on work leave due to a very stressful/bullying situation. Then in October the protests and riots started about a week after I was sent back to work. In November, I was let go from my job, so stress after stress after stress. Finally, I started working again in late December and the protests eased somewhat in January and February 2020. I guess even the protesters take vacation. The state of emergency and curfew were lifted. Last Valentine's Day we were at this resort hotel down in the south enjoying ourselves. We didn't really plan it because it was Valentine's Day, it was when a friend of mine was able to come stay with the pets. Anyways, we had such a great time. Covid was something that was far away still. Then, March arrived. On March 3rd the first case was discovered in the country. The first case in my municipality was on March 17th. Then, the lockdowns started and nothing has been the same since.
