There we go again

Yesterday I heard about someone who was vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine and still got severely ill with COVID19. I had managed to get myself away from the news long enough to believe that we were almost back to normal in the US.

I was very carefree in where I went and using mask/sanitizers. Exactly after my second shot, I started celebrating my freedom by trying to make up for the last year. Just last week, I was looking for events like stand up comedy and story telling. I had also gone out a few times to crowded restaurants to catch up with old friends.

And now, I have PTSD of what could happen to me if I were sick again. I have no energy to visit a hospital or get sick at all. I am done with all that mess. So I am back in quarantine. I have cancelled all the plans I had made to go out and meet people. It is non-negotiable.

Just like the first time last year, I have bought supplies and medication to last me a few months if need be. I have canned and dry foods if supply is interrupted.

As of 10pm yesterday, I also cancelled my WeWork membership. I completed the 1 month free trial and got a lot of things done. But the 40 minute commute one way - along with the parking problems were already getting to me. Now with the additional risk of contracting COVID - it was a no-brainer to cancel.

I still have ambitions to get some things done in the next 8 weeks. So I have to stay healthy and find a way to be productive right at home.
