We lost our two best friends and I'm pretty sure I got sick from my students and I've never entirely recovered

I'm sorry. Oddly enough another teacher gave it to me, and it was the least sick I've ever been. Had a nagging cough for two days. The variation in effects was just wild.

Losing our friends was a catastrophe on several levels, since we were also rented from them on massively favorable terms. The oldest son sold the townhouse and it was far more than I could swing on my GI loan. My family is still deeply angry over this whole thing. It was a cascade nightmare

Holy crap. That's awful being dislocated in the midst of that chaos. It really was a disastrous time. I remember thinking in early 2020 as I saw it coming that the world would never be the same. I had no idea just how true that was going to be.
