How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

I am currently sitting in the monitoring area after having just received my first vaccine dose. I feel more emotional than I expected to feel— this sort of feel giddy relief that maybe this life we’ve been living the last year can end. Meanwhile my husband and son are both home. My 3 year old is out of preschool again all week this week because he has a runny nose and can’t go back until he’s been 72 hours symptom free. It’s the kind of runny nose where during normal times I wouldn’t even consider keeping him home even a day. But here we are both working truncated days for an entire week again because of a little bit of snot. And the kiddo runs circles around the house and us.
