How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I noticed most posts in the Pandemic Journaling Project are about anger, fear, and blame. I try to live a normal life even though I reside in one of the current hot spots. Maybe I am a fatalist but believe you can do everything right and still die. My boss asked me to teach her and my coworkers to paint sunflowers on fence panels. We painted the panels after work Tuesday night. It felt good to help them be creative and enjoy something out of our daily routines. They all said they couldn't paint, but as you see, they were successful. I believe it is better to do the things you want to do than live in fear and anger. Many times, fear and anger can make you sick, so everyone, please try to make the best of what you have. The choice is yours.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I have just been so cooped up. I’m so isolated. I interact with one person, and I love them, but I need more social interaction than that. It’s hard not to have tension. I also broke my fingers this week, and since everything is virtual, it’s difficult to type all the time. And of course, I’m wearing a mask everywhere I go, and don’t go out much. Just to the store. An outing to Walgreens to get finger splints was a highlight of the week. A quote from my girlfriend: “when the grocery store is the only place you dress up for all week”, after standing in the closet deciding what to wear for 10 minutes.
