Image
**UPDATED 3/31/23** My husband and I make an effort to go on a date as much as we can. Since the COVID-19 pandemic happened, obviously, we aren’t able to go out to eat or to the movies. So we thought we'd try The Penny Date.  We were thinking about taking picnic food just in case we ended up in nowhere land, but we decided to wing it and whatever would happen we would be fine with it. Me and my man Jay Here's how it works: Get yourself a penny. Make sure you have a GPS handy, just in case you get lost. Choose a number between 10 & 20. At every intersection flip the coin, if it's tails go left, if it's heads go right. You get the idea. When you reach the number of flips, you've reached your date destination. It helps to have a paper and pen to keep up with the number of flips. You can also make it a bit more fun and ask questions of your significant other to learn more about each other.

We are all in the same boat during this pandemic of COVID-19. Here are some things that you can do during your time held up in your home. 1.   Complete a puzzle. It's always satisfying to finish puzzles. 2.   Start a journal. This can be cathartic way of getting through difficult times. 3.   Dust off that old instrument and practice. 4.   Watch all the really long movies you’ve avoided until now.  5.  R ead a classic book. 6.   Treat yourself to a skin care routine you don’t have time for during a normal work week. 7.   Write an actual letter or note and send by snail mail. Who doesn’t like to get cards and notes in the mail? 8.   Learn something new. 9.   Try on all your clothes and determine whether they “spark joy” á la  Marie Kondo . 10.  B ake something. The next blog we will talk about things NOT to so during a pandemic. We would love to know what you are doing to keep busy during this time.
