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

I don't remember how to have fun. I took Memorial day off from work. I couldn't think of what to do, not a single idea. My wife is still out of the country, so it was just me. I flopped on the couch. Watched TV and dozed. In effect, I threw away the entire day, and the previous two days weren't much better--or at least, not any more active. My wife has told me that when she returns home next week she wants to "go on dates" but not to the movies or a restaurant. And I should come up with some ideas. I don't have the foggiest idea what to suggest. What do people do for a date if it's not a movie and dinner? I'm at a complete loss. I can't remember what things we did before the pandemic. It's all a blank, like that part of my life was erased--like a hole in the flow of reality as I know it. I don't remember how to have fun, and I don't know what to do.
