Have you noticed any changes in your relationships with coworkers, neighbors, or acquaintances since the start of the pandemic? Have these kinds of relationships gotten stronger or weaker? If so, how?
This picture of a scale in a hardware store where I bought fresh peanuts is an example of comfort food and also a reminder of Peanuts the Charles Schulz cartoons. I find that I am proactive to make new connections in fields of interest that intrigue me. I bought the peanuts as I waited to get into an exhibit of Techspressionism which is artwork created digitally or using technology. It was a great exhibit I reconnected to the woman who did a seminar many years ago at Guild Hall in East Hampton about software to create digital art. I call my works digital abstract expressionism. I actually sold an art work at Guild Hall in a member exhibition. Only 19 works sold out of 400 displayed. The curator of the exhibit on Saturday April 23 was also a new connection. So I guess I manage to make new connections which compensates for not staying in touch with old friends.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
It's been weeks since I last made an entry. So much has happened. I am the third person in my nuclear family to be tested for COVID-19. I've been so sleepy and fatigued. I've missed work, and I'm falling behind on personal goals/projects/responsibilities. I oscillate between forgetting that I'm one of 3 in my immediate family to be "under surveillance" for COVID-19 to having it become an all-consuming spiral of what this means for our family if one or all of us becomes very ill if it should result in death, what does that mean for my family? I've not watched much news coverage for the last few weeks, it's too dreadful. I derive joy from looking out my window and seeing the blooms on trees in the summer breeze. Funny how I have always despised summer until now, the comforts of indoor climate control coupled with quarantine allows one to find pleasure in window shopping from the interior of one's home and observe life moving out of doors. That's all this week.
