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

Christmas was weird. I am used to a big family gathering and this year it was just the two of us. I did a video remote present opening with my kids, but it made me sad to realize how much we're missing. January looms. It's my least favorite month is the best of times, but this year (as everything is) it's worse. Cold and dark, the heart of the winter, nothing to celebrate. I'm feeling more house-bound than ever. All the activities that seemed adventurous and novel at the beginning of lockdown in the spring (baking, cooking) now hold no interest. I feel like I should be more productive, but right now I just can't.
