Be generous when tipping on deliveries, donate to fundraisers, send money to those in need, be more patient, stay home. We are all adjusting.
But still, some things remain constant. For me, I still have regular Facetime calls with my family, funny text chains with my girlfriends, morning workouts, cozy nights of watching TV and cuddling on the couch with Matt, getting Chinese food for delivery, and my constant craving for dessert.
