How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
As the holidays approach, I feel adrift. Ironically, in non pandemic years, I would be dreading snd finding ways to avoid holiday get togethers. But now that they are problematic, I seem to miss them. Mostly I guess I just want a choice . Even vaccinated with a booster, I don’t feel safe st gatherings of people indoors, for more than a few minutes. The senior housing where I live is holding a thanksgiving dinner for everyone but I didn’t sign up ..not even for a takeout dinner to;be brought to my apartment. For one thing, turkey, gravy and mashed potatoes sound disgusting as I move more and more toward a vegetarian diet.

Think about something really important that happened to you this week, and tell us about it.
I got my annual evaluation at work. I haven’t changed my work ethic or morals or values yet this year I got a stellar evaluation instead of a mediocre one from my boss. The pandemic has allowed me to work from home. I was one of the people who adapted well and once I found my feet, dove right in. I formed new work relationships, joined committees I never had time for before, and I actively participated, brainstormed and sought solutions in these unusual times. I became visible on a lot more radars and other managers seemed to appreciate my contributions. I am a 20 hour a week librarian, who has not been able to do real librarian work for a long time, not until COVID hit.
