I've been on full pay during the lockdown and have even worked a lot of paid overtime covering for level 1 IT folks calling out due to the clot shot side effects.

Did have to file for a religious exemption and that was about the worst thing I've went through on a personal level.

We locked in low house payments and purchased a car during the Trump Administration, and I work from home so gasoline prices don't affect us much, Only big difference has been the price of groceries, but I spend much less on groceries since Biden was installed into office because I switched to intermittent fasting/OMAD shortly before that and have lost over 6 inches on my waist already.

With that being said, I've simply been thankful and have praised God for this. It hasn't blinded me to others' suffering or how much harder it is to not comply with mask mandates with Karens everywhere.

I'm grateful it's not really a problem here in Texas as I haven't been asked for a vaccine card once and it's very easy to boycott any stores that do try to enforce mask mandates.
