Lockdown was heaven on earth. Suddenly normal to have only comms via internet, or play games or watch movies. No social BS like birthdays or drinking coffee with friends (they have coffee at home, too). Groceries delivered to the doorstep. Work from home (OK, sucks with kids being noisy), ample amounts of space in train, theatre. Bring own food to theatre. God I loved going to the theatre/movie so much with my oldest kid. Shittiest was the video calls. I hate those, just text or maybe audio is fine (TTS/STT too) can't read the body language anyway. Even had a neat job during lockdown, obviously got laid off recently..
