I have worked 14-16 hour days, including most weekends, since March of 2020. My job is fairly high-stress in a typical moment, but these past ten months have been the most stressful of my career. On top of that, I have two young children and a new puppy, and my husband is required to go to work in-person, leaving much of the daily oversight of the kids, puppy and house to me.
I don’t know if I was crying because I was about to spend my much-needed vacation time imprisoned in our guest room, or because my kids were scared, or because I was scared, or because I had ruined the break for my whole family. I am an extremely positive person, but for the first time in a long time, I felt defeated. I have no control over this. I can’t fix it.
As the days have progressed, I feel extremely fortunate that I continue to be asymptomatic. Besides the psychological nightmare of being an extrovert stuck in a room by myself for ten days, I am one of the lucky ones . I wake up each morning truly grateful to be alive and feeling healthy. It certainly forces a person to stop and really appreciate life.
