I'm roughly 10 years older than you. Experiencing a lot of the same things. WFH has made it worse. I have no supervision, and no work assignments. I've done little more than keep up with email since March. I get paid salary so I'm not complaining. Spent about a month playing with a new web framework. Got bored with it. Yet another way to do things that I've been doing for 20 years. Yawn.

Started going to the gym about a year ago. I go every other day and rarely miss. It gets me out of the house. Can't say it's fun but it's something to do and I like the effects on my body.

I'm losing faith that rationality and normal will return. We seem to double down on insanity instead of pulling back to some optimal minimum. I'm forseeing a future where every flu season is going to be 6 months at home and masks and all the rest of it. I'm astounded that so many people are so accepting of it all and seem to like being told what they can and can't do and where they can and can't go like they are 5 years old.
