Talk about any major life events, milestones, or other important things in life that have been disrupted by the pandemic.
A friend from Massachusetts sent the dog toy Trimp ladt Spring. This character who spouts our fear and fake claims has impacted my life by his failed leadership. He is a limp toy my dog tosses around. At times I feel sorry for this dog toy because it was shped in the likeness of such a hideous individual. My life has bern impacted physically - I want tto toss yhis toy across the room. My dog plopped it before me as I contemplated the email announcing my orthopedic surgeon was leaving hiscgroup practice - I am panicked because he will replace my shoulder but I have drlsyed the date with the third wave of covid crashing over the country makinf elective surgery a luxury reserved gor other countries, not ours. My dog knows I am upset - I want this surgeon but until next werk after Thanksgiving nothing is certain - I want to rip this toy to shreds - my health is impacted by the fool who lived on the hill in the White House.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
For the last few weeks I have mostly been staying in my neighborhood which I really like-- lots of trees, people walking, shops and restaurants open, the park, etc. However, a few times recently I have gone down to Mid-town and it has really scared and depressed me. Everything is empty and shops are closed. Poor people roaming around-- homeless lying in the streets. Storefronts boarded up with graffiti and it just seems like a ghost town of the apocalypse. So many empty buildings and it feels like a hopeless and abandoned place. I feel lucky that I don't live down in that area... I would've had a totally different COVID experience. I've been sheltered uptown where things are still pretty nice and life is somewhat normal. I worry and wonder when the whole city will be able to come back... maybe it will never be what it was. Could it maybe be better? What if we knocked down all those buildings and planted a forest or garden?
