Why don't I remember most of Covid?

Description (Dublin Core)

I remember working remotely from my kitchen for my job.
I remember watching movies.
I remember being locked down and taking trips to the supermarket wearing masks.
I remember avoiding touching things and copious amounts of hand sanitizer.
I remember my parents getting older and using facetime to be able to see them.
I remember them dying and not being able to take a flight across the country to be there.
I remember that birthdays happened without parties.
I remember having Covid after being vaccinated, being careful and giving up so much of life.
I remember finding out that friends had passed away and not knowing they passed.
I remember starting to make changes in the way I do things like open a door without touching the handle.
I remember being concerned for the safety of others and wearing a mask for their protection.
I remember being chastised for wearing a mask and people trying to shame me for it.
I remember holding my breath when a person passed me on the street to reduce risk.
I remember standing farther away from people in line and not talking to people.
I remember not seeing a smile and not remembering to smile.
I smile now. It takes effort but I smile now.
