Hello from St. Paul, Minnesota! What's working for me during this VERY CHALLENGING time:
Finding 4 ways to help my community that both work to my strengths and are sustainable over the long term (if you're curious, they are: daily school patrol 3 blocks from my house, managing my community council's social media pro bono, being the person who brings people along who "don't know what to do / where to start," and weekly meals out at immigrant restaurants. )
Rewatching Schitt's Creek. Reading "My Life In France" (the super sweet and cozy Julia Child memoir - what an icon!) The Scandinavian 2-duvet approach to bedding. $5 flowering potted bulbs from Trader Joe's. Also: Trader Joe's skincare - it's so cheap and GOOD. DVDs!!! WHY ARE THEY SO FUN?!!! Buying political yard signs in multiples and then giving them to friends when I see them (I ask them ahead of time if they want one - I don't just foist the signs on them.) Making friends in my knitting class and then - when the class is finished - literally being like "I want to be friends IRL!!" and making lunch plans.
