How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

My state is starting to book vaccine appointments for people of all ages. My mother and mother-in-law have been pushing appointment options on me pretty fiercely. They seem to think that I, the only member of our local family to not be vaccinated yet, will be able to get vaccinated immediately in early April and their lives will return 100% to normal, and we can spend our entire summers entirely together in person. I'm not ready for social obligations again. Spouse and I have been living almost in solitude for a year. I'm going to need time to learn to socialize without anxiety. But our family already has parties on the books. I'm already exhausted.
