How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
All I have thought about this past week are the changes that are occurring much to fast, in my opinion. No masks outside, no masks necessary inside...it makes no sense to me as we are nowhere near herd immunity as a country. Personally, my family will continue to wear masks in stores and when outside around a lot of people. That's just how we are going to handle it, especially since we have an 11 year old daughter who will not be able to get the vaccine for a number of months. This is a picture from a hike I took with my daughter. The water looks like soap suds in some areas and I found it a perfect representation of what is still needed regarding COVID. We still need to clean up this pandemic mess and make smart decisions.

Talk about how the events of recent months have affected your financial situation.
Luckily, I was able to acquire financial assistance from my state in the form of Pandemic Insurance through the department of unemployment benefits. Thankfully I do not have any children to provide for, but I did help my family around the house, namely my mother, by purchasing things they needed and providing some financial relief. I would not like to go into specifics of where or how the money was used within the household, yet I am very grateful for the financial assistance. Work was hard to come by, and having this source of income was very beneficial. However, I am excited to get back into the workforce once the pandemic has come and gone, and earn money the way I've always known how: hard work.
