Amen, sister. All of us were put through a load of codswallop, for what? As a counselor I always try to see the positive - what was learned, what skills were gained, which muscles became stronger, but it really takes a lot of effort in this case. Thank you for telling us your story.
"Today life feels back to “normal”. Friends no longer discuss Covid and how they treated us during those tense years. It feels like a dirty, shameful secret that everyone just wants to pretend away. Forever." I think a lot of us have experienced this. For me it can feel surreal and I'm not sure how to respond. I don't want to harbor anger at people who were once my friends, but I will never trust them again. Their refusal to acknowledge what they said and did convinces me they will do it again. Thank you for this essay; your evolving attitude and personal experiences during this time was truly interesting to read about, and felt very relatable.
Amazing.
And you complete turnaround from prepper to traveler deserved a huge party!
Thank you for writing this for us.
(And your family is lovely looking)

You and your husband are heroes.

Hey Author, does your sister-in-law know of any certified exorcist who can drive the demon vaccine out of my body? I had 3 shots.
