Such covid. It is real rough on everybody, but like that thing Lev Tolstoy said in Anna Karenina about unhappy families, every unhappy person in this pandemic is unhappy in their own way!! Although symptoms may be similar, nobody hits the wall at the same time, which isolates people instead of bringing them together.
As far as I know I've never had the virus, but man, I've been through a lot of these things mentioned above! All jumbled up and in a different order.
-Started riding at night to beat heat and traffic
-Got my mental equilibrium knocked askew/hit a wall (sometime in February for me).
-Started feeling really isolated.
-Gave away some previously-cherished parts to my little brother.
-Self-medicated from time to time, with variable results.
-Went to the doc for evaluation of ongoing nagging injuries
-Cross-trained when I couldn't ride due to weather (got a little bit back into an old pastime of telemark skiing in backcountry) which gave me some really nice days to remember, brought me closer to an old friend, and cleared my mind some.
I like this thread. It is a good way to see that we are all here in the same trenches.
