How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
A year ago, our lives changed in ways we would have previously considered unthinkable. When in March 2020, schools switched to online teaching and we were working from home, we couldn't imagine that life a year later would not be back to normal. Although it was hard to manage the stress of work, the craziness of kids' online homeschooling, constant exposure to screens, and the incessant disruptions of everyday life, being together and working on projects was also a deep source of joy. Elementary school is now (thankfully) back in person, and I'm sharing a page my 5-year-old son brought home just a few days ago. I'm so glad he seems to have enjoyed building a shed together as much as I did.

Let's talk about COVID-19 vaccination. Have you and/or those you know been vaccinated -- or had difficulty getting vaccinated? If so, talk about that.
Ease in obtaining the Covid shots sometimes seem random. I, and most of my friends have either received the shots, or have appointments soon. A few seem to be unable to schedule shots even though they are in their seventies or eighties. This is wrong. There are people who are at risk who can't get shots and people who la de da get shots even though they are young and at very low risk. All teachers should get shots. They are essential workers!
