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

this week has been dominated by anxiety. Frankly, I am anxious about re-opening. On the professional front, as the CEO of a mid sized non profit I am anxious about what to do about bringing people back into the office over the next 9 months or so, and uncertain about how to get it right. I'm anxious about the ongoing work load associated with the additional burden of the pandemic. On the personal front, I don't really feel like engaging full on, from being a little foot dragging about any potential travel, to hesitating to be seen outside without a mask even though I am fully vaccinated. I feel like masks have been a sign of solidarity for so long that I am reluctant to have anyone think I"m not one of the good guys. But also I really, really like breathing fresh air. So I will have to sort it out. I wake up more often lately fretting about work. Usually I am pretty good about separating myself and getting down time, but not so much lately.
