Talk about your current living situation. Has anything changed during the pandemic (for example, where you're living, who you're living with, etc.).
This is a piece of the calendar of post-it notes my daughter and I started last March when she came home from college. The first week of quarantine last March, we thought it would be interesting to mark the days of staying home and see if we could make it across the room. We had no idea our swoops of seven flags (representing a week) would go all the way around the room. After 10 weeks, we started stacking the flags. Yesterday, at 55 weeks, we finally reached the last day. I’m so thankful that we’ve had no interruptions to our jobs and housing, but it’s great to be done with all that staying home!

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I have just finished the first week of mourning my beloved aunt. Because of my disability I might not have been able to go to her funeral, which will now be held over Zoom. So, I'm grateful for that. I feel that everything is flat and sad. She was one of my most important supports and I still can't believe she's gone. I had two memorial gatherings for me this week where I got to say kaddish, the memorial prayer. I think more people attended because of its being over Zoom. A friend went to a Chanukah party that was a drive-in event and said she really enjoyed the way they did it, with Chanukah trivia (turn your right blinker on if this is true, left if false...) and streamed a concert for everyone. What a sweet way to handle gathering during the pandemic.
