The Pandemic Thread

It occurs to me that it'd be good for those of us who'd like to, to have a spot where they can check in and acknowledge just how tough the past year or so has been.

Where do you live (broadly speaking)? What is the state of things where you live? Are you doing okay, all things considered? Have you been vaccinated?

I live in the province of Ontario, in Canada, and we're back on stay at home orders. It feels pretty grim here, and it's unclear when things might improve. My husband's dad passed away from a stroke in Alberta in late February -- only one "designated visitor" could be with him during his three-week hospitalization. His five children have been unable to gather for a memorial service.

Other than that, we're hanging in there as best as we can. My husband is doing all his university teaching online, and I'm trying to bolster my spirits with online clarinet lessons (I've finally found a compatible teacher -- huzzah!) and online adult ballet classes.

My husband and I have both gotten the first dose of Astra Zeneca; our second dose is scheduled for late July.

Looking forward to hearing your stories, if you wish to share them.

Beth
