Covid-19 is very serious, especially for us chronically ill, immunocompromised, immunosuppressed, and disabled people.
So travel is off the table due to social distancing, but here are some other things to do without even leaving your home:
-Try your hand at cooking a favourite regional dish, or one you haven’t tried before
-Create a bucket list. I’m writing up my 101 in 1001 right now and will share soon.
-Take a nap, save up some spoons. Life will probably be this way for a while, but you’ll be ready when it isn’t.
-Watch a movie that’s streaming early, like Frozen 2 or the new Star Wars. (I saw both and loved them. Adam Driver is dreamy. There, I said it).
-Take up a new craft, like sewing masks for fellow spoonies and doctors, or latch hooking like Chrissy Teigen, who’s making a unicorn carpet for her hamster’s house.
-Video chat with your loved ones.
-Watch John Oliver’s videos about Coronavirus so you’re more informed, but also laugh a lot.
-Order takeout from your local Chinese restaurant. Support local businesses!
-Take a free class from Brit + Co (use the code SELFCARE at checkout) or Uncustomary or Coursera.
-Be an armchair traveller. No need to go anywhere when there’s Google Earth. And beautiful travel blogs online. Get cozy and start searching!
-Watch movies using Hoopla or Kanopy. Just sign up using your library card and stream for free.
How are you spending your social distancing time?
