How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
We did it. We took a vacation with friends. We self isolated for 2 weeks ahead of time, brought all of our own groceries and had a lovely week with dear friends. We hugged! Our daughter played with a friend INSIDE!! I hated to leave. I hated coming home to school anxiety conversations and my daughter swinging on the swings for hours by herself. I hate COVID but I love my friends.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Right now, the pandemic is mostly affecting my life in that I am very socially isolated. I can't visit friends for worry of contagion. I can't go see my parents, because my mom has heart disease and COPD and is over 60. I miss her so much, and I'm so scared she'll get COVID and die. Right now I'm working from home, teaching 9th grade English. It's really stressful and weird. The kids aren't doing much. But I don't feel safe going back either. I couldn't go see my best friend in another state over the summer. I feel so horribly lonely and frustrated, especially since I see people socializing normally all the time.
