How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I’m at the airport waiting to go to Hawaii. We just got our pre-clear wristbands that confirm we are vaccinated & symptom free. It feels strange to be around so many people at the airport. Today will definitely the longest I’ve been indoors and masked. I feel nervous about traveling with the delta variant. I don’t know if I would’ve booked this trip if cases had been as high as they are when we made arrangements. I guess we could’ve rescheduled, but travel plans have quite a lot of momentum & it’s hard to dial things back. We are just wearing our masks, crossing our fingers, and hoping no one in our group gets sick.

Think about something really important that happened to you this week, and tell us about it.
Today I got a job. It is a PA job. Not even close to my dream job. Not even close to anything I trained for or hoped for. But it is a job. With a paycheck. With hours to not be at home. With hours that have concrete things to do. I know that I am one of the lucky ones. I have the potential for a paycheck at the time that SO many people are losing theirs. So I am trying to be grateful. I'm trying to not be sad about the things I'm losing out on. I'm trying to look at what this job is going to be able to give me: money; a sense of stability; the ability to regain strength to be creative again; a flexible schedule so I can continue doing work that is meaningful for me.
