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

It's been weeks since I last made an entry. So much has happened. I am the third person in my nuclear family to be tested for COVID-19. I've been so sleepy and fatigued. I've missed work, and I'm falling behind on personal goals/projects/responsibilities. I oscillate between forgetting that I'm one of 3 in my immediate family to be "under surveillance" for COVID-19 to having it become an all-consuming spiral of what this means for our family if one or all of us becomes very ill if it should result in death, what does that mean for my family? I've not watched much news coverage for the last few weeks, it's too dreadful. I derive joy from looking out my window and seeing the blooms on trees in the summer breeze. Funny how I have always despised summer until now, the comforts of indoor climate control coupled with quarantine allows one to find pleasure in window shopping from the interior of one's home and observe life moving out of doors. That's all this week.
