4/22/21 This is how I've felt, for way too long: Bricked in, blocked in, locked away by more obligations than I can handle, so much so that I can't move, can't free myself, can't even see spring. This was already my work situation -- and since work is so much a part of my life, my life situation -- pre-COVID, but now in the past year it's become just overwhelming. Untenable. Need somehow to tear away the dead vines, unbrick the door of creativity, let spring in.

Do you feel like your life is going well right now? Has the pandemic changed this? If so, tell us about it.

But there's something to be said for a steady source of above minimum wage income and a safe workplace for a female pushing 60 in the middle of a global pandemic. I feel bad for the younger ones who are having to lower their career expectations, though
