How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Last week my mom finally came to visit!!! It was a glorious long weekend, and felt halfway normal aside from sitting in the parking lot with our masks on while we waited for her rapid Covid test results. Once time has passed and no faint line appeared I could finally take a deep breath and relax and just enjoy her company. My daughter was so excited to see her at pick up from daycare she ran right up to my mom instead of her usual shy act. The next morning we went to a pumpkin patch with the expectation of buying the big pumpkins, which of course turned into about a dozen small to medium pumpkins to decorate our front step and our dining table. We had a great weekend with my mom plus my in-laws, lots of time outside, a trip to our favorite park, a birthday celebration, a few meltdowns (mostly the three year old, one of my own). My sister in law and her family ended up staying home, mostly out of concern for the non-Covid but still miserable daycare germs they’re still battling every other week. All in all, it was an excellent weekend.

Talk about how the events of recent months have affected either your work or your ability to work.
In recent months one of my two jobs closed due to the COVID 19 pandemic and the other one remains open do to it being essential since it was a restaurant. Working at the restaurant was pretty easy at first since it was a limited menu and not a lot of people knew we reopened but that was a good thing since it got us back in the grove for when it started getting busier with everyone realizing restaurants were back opened. But for the school job, they are reopened now for the summer but I do plan to work there full time once the new school year starts.
