Talk about any major life events, milestones, or other important things in life that have been disrupted by the pandemic.
The things that feel different this time of year - as we prepare for the fall and another surge to hit us, is the expectation that there will be a contraction of life again. And more shutdown coming. So we are trying to use these last days of summer here in the Northeast USA to get out as much as possible - to swim in lakes, ponds, streams, pools that have access. Go for walks, hikes, strolls with the dog. See friends at a safe distance in our backyards or on the street. These are not tears of sorrow but tears of gratitude, of strength. We WILL get through this harsh time...together.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Going back into the office now requires checking my temperature, filling out a form affirming that I am healthy and to the best of my knowledge have not been exposed to anyone with the virus in the past 14 days and my signature on a waiver holding my employer harmless if I get the virus while in the office. Yet I’m glad to be back, even if it just a day every other week. It has helped my mental health. I’m also working harder at taking care of my physical health. The rowing machine I ordered came this week and I took it for a five minute test run. I think I am going to very much enjoy using it. Even with that, I notice that I eat the damn donut once in a while instead of dithering over how bad it is for me. That is a pretty good change.
