It can be a tough time for many. Initially I moaned (to myself) about Covid causing me to have to be in the office more. Normally I would work from home 2-3 days/week and travel, but I'm not traveling and I have to be in the office for reasons I won't bore anyone with. So I was pissy that many of my friends are "working from home" and sneaking out for golf all the time while I am heading in the office more. But it is true that sometimes you need to reframe things. I am fortunate to have a good job and be able to play golf.
My house has been a tale of 2 extremes with respect to dealing with the pandemic. My teenager has embraced online learning and being stuck at home. It took a while, but she seems more focused on studying and she calls her friends much more often rather than texting or messaging them. She is reading more, drawing and painting regularly and has even been practicing and trying out for voice acting work. She seems to be happy and thriving, but my wife is sort of the opposite. She hasn't worked since she had the stroke several years ago. She thought she would be working again by now, but doesn't want to work outside the house due to Covid. She could be doing any number of things, but seems to prefer to complain about the thing she can't do because of the pandemic....half of which she didn't do before the pandemic. I'm sort of in the middle. I go in the office even more than I was supposed to which sucks during golf season, but not so much in the winter. Getting a little sick of tv, books, sudoku, puzzles, etc, but they are all good hobbies/distractions along with working out more.
