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

I've managed to get my vaccine envy under control. The state is opening up vaccines to my group near the end of the month. My employer is allowing all employees to continue working from home through the end of year and is making plans to put on clinics to vaccinate all employees and qualified members of their family. But I am nervous, tired and mentally defensive. I'm already anticipating conversations from family expressing their expectations that we start gathering again and I suspect that the pressure is going to be worse than it was prior to the pandemic. To be so, so close to getting vaccinated while a surge is coming is scary. I'm nervous. The only argument I have left at this point is that I have no desire to get sick when we are so close.
