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

This week we took our toddler daughter for her first Covid test. Yesterday she had a low fever that seemed to come and go and a snotty runny nose, with some coughing and sneezing. Last night she was very congested and woke up whimpering several times. I started to worry maybe she DOES have Covid and if so, thank God were both vaccinated so we can properly take care of her if she gets sicker. Still waiting for the results to come back but she’s already back to normal. I’m still sad that she missed her last day of daycare at the old house (her teacher is moving them to her new house starting Monday). Sometimes I feel ungrateful when I complain about the things I am fortunate enough to complain about (like the fact that I even have daycare, or paid sick leave, or the ability to work from home, or my health and vaccination status…..) then I feel guilty in addition to feeling sorry for myself.
