I definitely take better care of myself because I have to now. In my 20s, I could have dominos and two beers without issue, now I’ll wake up incredibly dehydrated and bloated (I chose dominos because of the salt, not the taste). I do also have body pains, but I did sports pretty intensely before the pandemic, so I think those are mostly injuries. I tend to need more recovery time, for example, I’ve been vomiting all summer from the heat, but otherwise I hadn’t vomited sober since my early twenties. I need two full days not to feel shitty and weak afterwards, which is definitely a development.
