We got it for the first time in Dec 2022 and also thought "well, we had a good run." Pandemic level precautions a) can only take you so far and b) are not sustainable in the long term and c) germs are germs. Their job is to get IN. It sucks, but that's reality. It's a miracle we outliers lasted as long as we did but I'm super thankful as these current strains are more contagious, but a bit less deadly (thank you vaccines, boosters, and washing your damn hands!)
A lesson about accepting our choices and decisions from the past that my mom and grandma taught me growing up was this: "You made the best decisions you could with the information you had at the time." Looking at the past from this perspective really has helped because sometimes even though "Hindsight is 20/20.", it really can be a (bleep) in the present moment and cause you to ruminate without helping too much. So now, I just try to take what I learned from the past, remind myself to that I can get off of the hook I put myself on, and have a happier and more knowledgeable day. Hope this helps! -From one recovering perfectionist to another. :)

You know what? This makes me a feel a LOT better. Thank you, my fellow perfectionist Scorpio friend! 💜
