One year in to this pandemic

It has been a year since Ive started working from home, and its also been a year since our lives turned upside down with Covid. 

There are a lot of things I have done and havent done in the last year. I returned home, gave up my apartment in the city, havent seen my friends in a year IRL, havent seen my office, havent taken a vacation. I havent been to a gym in a year and it sucks.

Ive really let myself go- I need to get back on track. I need to check on my diet and keep my body running. Hay, its hard when you're cooped up and within your head all the time. My mental health had really taken a toll on me so I realised that I need to start exercising, because when im exercising my mind is blank, its the only time that I get to shut my brain off. 

One good thing this pandemic turned for my life is that, since im back home, ive seen how our house has turned out, so we decided to renovate the house. We've finished the roof, the walls and the whole kitchen and living room and also my office. Now, we're working on the bathroom, the dirty kitchen and the garden space. I hope everything works out well and be finished before April or mid-May. 

It also good since my mom and dad are old and I dont want them to live in a derelict household, so im renovating it for them too. 

But what I really want, I just want a vacation. I want to swim in the sea, take a plane to somewhere, just be out of this city. This is the longest Ive stayed in my hometown since I was 15. Ive seen some of my friends go on vacations but I still feel reluctant to do so. Im afraid, deathly afraid of Covid. There's only 2 reasons why I go out of my house, to grocery shop and to go to church. Vacation really is a luxury for me right now. 

I hope people would take this pandemic seriously. I want to get back to normal! 

People please.
