    2021 had GME meme stonks and was the start of NFTs. Also COVID vax started coming out.

    I liked lock down. It made me feel normal and accepted for being a shut-in for once. Now, I'm just a loser again.

    Jan 6th

    Vaccines!

    Party all summer. Oh wait, variants.

    I personally got my PhD and moved states to start at my new job. So it was a busy year for me.

    If you worked in healthcare, there was a pretty clear delineation. We got vaccines and people stopped fucking dying so much.

    I opened 2021 to one of our chronic dialysis patients getting admitted for Covid, so severely short of breath they needed to go to the critical care stepdown unit, and I thought "this is it " By the time I was able to arrive at the hospital to run their dialysis, this person was already off oxygen and up walking around their room.

    Come to find out, they had been vaccinated. I'm told that was one of the first people in the State of Massachusetts who got Covid after being vaccinated, and the difference in severity was so dramatic I'll never forget it.

    That and movie theaters reopening are the only reasons I remember 2021. It was just a lot less scary even though I was still working like crazy.

    Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.

    • Didn't have to commute.
    • Saved money on home cooking.
    • Meetings started on time and you didn't have to walk to and from them.
    • If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
    • Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
    • All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
    • Didn't have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.

    Y'all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?

    I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like "wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we'll come get it in a week if youre still alive then."

    I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like "Whelp, we're fucked."

    I'm using a mood app, and apparently 2021 was one of my best years ever. Isolation, taking hikes, cycling a lot and less social obligations.

    Only reason I remember anything about ‘21 is cause I went to rehab, and the Jan 6th insurrection happened

    Outside of that, I couldn’t tell you a single notable event

    Honestly? I couldn't remember anything either. But then I looked at my camera roll and had a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of discord DnD and TableTop Simulator, outdoors adventures, and memes. It was a good year for memes.

    Was in a deep depression hole and was very isolated. I'm very glad I managed to overcome that.
