How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
On top of all of the previous disappointments associated with the ongoing pandemic, a week ago we learned that my husband’s oldest brother has been diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. It’s heartbreaking for the entire family and doubly worrisome with COVID-19 still rearing its ugly head here, there and everywhere. His siblings and in-laws want to see him, hug him and reassure him. But can we? Should we? Is it safe for him? For us? If he chooses to undergo treatment, will he be isolated due to the virus? Will he fight for his life with only strangers at his bedside? Right now, it is all too much to process. 2020 has definitely been a year of heartache and sorrow.

Throughout the state mandated stay at home law, I spent much of my time working on jigsaw puzzles. I found this helped me to ease my anxiety by focusing on small details without having to think too hard. Work is changing next week and will be allowing more staff in the building at a time. Moving from 5 people to 25. Thankful patrons and public are not allowed in the building. Just hope we stay covid free. The numbers of positive covid-19 rates are going up in Washington state. I'm only going out 1x every 2 weeks for groceries. My life is now only my time at work and home. I have 6 days off next month. But can't go anywhere.
