I feel like possibly I should post, since I'm constantly hoping to hear how others are doing

I'm fine. I hate being stuck at home. I miss so many people. I was astonishingly, stupidly grateful when work did a zoom virtual happy hour and I got to literally see peoples' faces when I had not otherwise seen them in weeks. I miss conversations that work flawlessly with more than three people. I miss seeing people smile out of genuine amusement. I miss mental/emotional stability being a thing that didn't require consistent, observable effort. A lot of things, really.

But I'm doing fine. My family are fine. I have what I need to keep going and to keep my life in order. My job is likely stable for the remainder of the year (granted I found this out by surviving one round of very stressful remote layoffs, but still). I have a lot to do - I'm taking both French and German again, all remotely, of course. I'm practicing flute tons more than otherwise I'd usually been doing, because I sit three feet from it and my music stand what feels like all damn day, and I can't take sitting this many hours in a row, so standing breaks are practice breaks.

And I get to cook again, which is in some ways nice.

So basically, life is fine. I absolutely hate being stuck here, and the lack of social satiation is definitely not good for my mental health, but realistically I'm fine.

I hope other folks are doing okay.
