2020 was the beginning of many uncertainties for all of us .  Covid-19 dictated our lives on so many different levels.  I relocated to another city March 2020, but could not move into our new place due to so many things being shut down.  Companies had to adjust to working remotely and new protocols for in person business.  So our actual move in did not begin until the second week of April.  That's when I really began to notice fatigue, but I was thinking it had to do with moving and the mental stress I was under.
