Staying safe AT HOME

As this uncertain period of self-isolation and social distance stretches on, you might now be reaching the point where the novelty of puzzles, virtual happy hour with your friends, and staying at home all day in your sweatpants is starting to wear off. If so, you might be wondering how to bide your time next.

Instead of focusing on the (very long) list of what we can’t do, here are some suggestions from our members of things you will LOVE to do.
