(53,001 posts)I'm sorry for your family situation. It sounds terribly difficult.
This week, I had the first major disappointment due to COVID restrictions--the first time since COVID began, despite the fact I've been working at home since March and I had a trip cancelled. MN Governor Walz announced there should be no Thanksgiving celebrations outside the household. I was planning to go to my sister's. There was going to be 5-6 of us, and we were going to wear masks and sit 6 feet apart. But my sister is taking the order literally, so I'm alone this Thanksgiving. I'm thinking it will probably extend to Christmas as well. I know my situation doesn't compare to so many others, and certainly not to the experiences of those who are sick. But still, COVID sucks.
