Since the pandemic started, does time feel any different to you? Does it feel slower than usual, or faster than usual, or basically the same? If time feels different, give an example or two of what has changed.

Time feels so much slower and faster right now. Is that even possible to feel both? Day to day feels like it drags, especially over the past 10 days of quarantine since my son got sick with covid-19. Yet somehow, this Wednesday is already December 1st. The months of the pandemic are just flying by. So much more of my son's childhood has been spent during covid than not during covid. This all started when he was a year and a half. The last time my son got to celebrate Thanksgiving with family he was 15 months old, and he won't get to celebrate another one with family until he is 4 years old since we were quarantined this year. He doesn't know about all the things he's missing out on, but I do. Time is going by so fast watching him grow, but there are so many restrictions to what we can do while we try to keep him safe.
