How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Suitcase packed and ready to go... KN95 masks and rapid antigen tests included. Headed off in an hour to the airport for our first flight since January 2020. Can't quite believe it. We're going across the country from east coast to west coast to sunny southern California. I thought I felt ready to get back on the plane, but today, I've been nervous... what if the 3rd person in our row next to my husband and me isn't vaccinated or is one of those people who lets his/her mask slide or claims to be eating/drinking the whole flight so it is ok for the mask to be down around their chin? I wish domestic flights required vaccines like international ones. Sigh... Well, I don't control that or the person who is sitting next to me. So, I'll practice my deep breathing and focus on the upcoming vacation. Wish me luck!

Has the pandemic disrupted your plans for the future in any major way? If so, talk about the most significant disruption(s).
We were hoping to go on our honey moon - and that was postponed and probably cancelled. We just started talking about doing a number of mini-moons, that way we are not constantly waiting for 'the right time' which we don't know if and when that will come -- especially if things in our life change. It is harder to find a job - and that means it will be harder to move and buy a house. And then it comes to when would make the most sense to start trying to have a baby. We can't have one if we are still living in a studio and I don't have work. I don't know when I will see my family next, as no one is in the same country as I am. When will it be safe to fly? And if it is safe to fly, will it be safe to be my parents? Siblings? Nephews?
