"Merry" Month of May Meme: the new normal

Geneabuddy Pauleen has challenged us to write about our new normal and provided the following questions. Why don't you join in too? Has your day-to-day life returned to how it/you functioned previously? Absolutely not. Pre-COVID I worked full-time. Now I am retired. Very very different. If your “new normal” is different from your “old normal”, can you share some of the ways it’s changed? I used to commute for about 2.5 - 3 hours a day and would go through lots of petrol filling the car twice a week. Now I am filling up my car about every 2-3 weeks. I would leave home by 6.15 every morning and get home at about 6:30 or quarter to 7. My weekends were packed with social engagements and I always struggled to stay on top of housework. The only thing that has stayed the same is that I still struggle to stay on top of housework!! Family history is SOOOO much more interesting. Do you think these will be long-term changes for you? Yes What...
