I'm sure things will go back to "normal", whatever that is, eventually, but today's been one of those days where it feels a long way off. And, to be honest, I sort of find myself going back and forth on whether or not a return to what we had before the whole COVID-19 pandemic is actually desirable.
Chief among this is, of course, the idea of working from home. My mental state is up and down a bit on this, because while I very much appreciate the increased flexibility and freedom it provides, it's also frustrating to feel like your professional life is "invading" your personal life. (This only really applies if you're not a particular fan of your job, of course; if you're legitimately doing something you enjoy, in my experience, you'll have no problem with this — see: any time I was working on a gaming website in the past!)
Out and about, I certainly don't have a particular problem with keeping a distance from people, and I don't even especially mind wearing a mask, although as a glasses-wearer I am yet to find a means of wearing a mask that doesn't steam said glasses up.
Obviously it would be great if we could go back to a world where there wasn't a great "unknown" hanging in the air all the time — something that may or may not kill us — but in other regards, I wonder what the world will actually look like after this is all over. Assuming it is ever all over, which presumably it will be at some point!
