My employer enacted mandatory work from home at the beginning of the pandemic and forbade all work related travel. I went from flying every week to sleeping in my own bed every night. It's been weird but nice.

We had a couple weeks where specific items (like toilet paper) were hard to get. Now, everything we might normally get is easily available. Some specific brands are not to be seen, and meat prices are very high.

The three young Magnets moved to distance learning, which was more than a bit of a challenge for the two who were away at school and had to come home. I had to stand up a wireless network that nobody else in my home know about so that I could get my work done.

With regard to the civil disturbances, one of them was close enough to us that I had one night without any sleep.
