Perhaps all 6 months of it.

Leesa, I am nearing retirement age, but over the last couple of years of the Pandemic, the thought of Covid or its variants, affecting my lifespan in the twilight of my life, has never once crossed my mind.
What does often cross my mind as I get older though, is the usual fears of Cancer, Diabetes, and Dementia, of which (as far as I am aware) I do not have as yet. (Touch wood).
