How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I feel like this whole pandemic has been like this melting snowman. Pieces of me are all over, nothing is where it belongs. I am trying to see the beauty in the world but sometimes things just get in the way, like the overgrown stick which is taking over the top of the snowman. Good things are happening in my life, my daughter is getting married, my older daughter had a new baby this past August, yet the pandemic is blocking my vision. I feel like my priorities are mixed up, sometimes the world is not as bright as it seems. The clouds are hiding the sun and the air is polluted with germs. The corona virus is still with us, people are still masked up and afraid to socialize.

Three of our COVID patients died over the weekend. The number of COVID patients in the hospital is declining, and the census is down as well, but we obviously still have some very sick patients. I was able to work on a project that I haven't been able to do in months, which is good. Time is now BC (before COVID), and I guess (hope) someday we will get to AC (after COVID). Schools have been open for a week now. There have been some positive cases with students, but thankfully, they seem to be mild and not require hospitalization. The next concern is if those students will transmit the virus to their parents, grandparents, etc. That will be another 2-week wait and see. Current time is wait and see.
