How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
My garden has been exploding this spring. These are just a few of our roses in the garden right now. When the pandemic started, I would "visit" our garden every morning and take photos of the new buds and really try to enjoy them ... literally, stopping to smell the roses. Anyway, I am happy to report that a year later, I am still "visiting" my garden every morning, something that I didn't really make time to do before the pandemic.

We're back in the office full time this week, although numbers are still high and no one wears their mask appropriately. Fun, depressing fact: I work for public health. My employer has also made it clear they will offer no flexibility for childcare, even if a child must quarantine, and they don't care about us carrying COVID home to our families. So, I've decided to quit. My last day is Friday. I don't have a new job yet, but I have a few interviews lined up (all remote positions). After this pandemic, I'm not going to waste my time in an organization that doesn't care about my health (while they should!).
