How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
It's been awhile since I've contributed here. After getting fully vaccinated in April 2021, I was like: "Welp, this is over for me and my family! Woo Hoo!" And here we are in mid-October. One troubling development in my city (Albany, NY) is the proliferation of anti-mask and anti-vax stickers in parks and near schools. I'm tempted to carry a sharpie pen with me and black them out whenever I see them.

Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.
Today I thought about how none of our friends have been inside our house in over a year now. Incredible. Actually, R.L. came in for a short glimpse at Christmas-time, when we were doing the family Zoom call to make macrame ornaments. R. came to the door to drop off toffee, and I asked him to come in and check out our ornament making setup. But that's pretty much it. i found myself wondering today what do my friends' houses look like inside these days? Chaos? Order? the same? transformed by 24/7 living at home?
