Thank you Caitlyn for sharing! This post is great. You have found words for my diffuse feelings.
I started a new job some weeks ago and suddenly I have to work at home. (While taking care for my seven year old kid.) I wonder and struggle: Why am I so lazy? Why can't I learn the new stuff and push my side projects as I usually did? Where is my energy? Although being a senior sofware developer I have the same strange feelings.
Take care and greetings from Germany

It's so hard right now. There is no normal. We aren't trying to cope with figuring out how to work from home, we're trying to figure out how to work during a global pandemic (and you even while teaching and taking care of your kid!). Hang in there!
