It's possible that we are not in the midst of the pandemic. Who knows if this is really the middle part or not? It's likely still the beginning. Possibly the beginning of the end. Whatever it is, there's not much any of us can do about it, except hunker down (any Leslie Jordan fans out there?) and make the best of it.
I thought I'd make a little quiz.
For each "YES" answer, give yourself one point.
During this time, have you:
1. Completed a jigsaw puzzle
2. Tried a new recipe
3. Watched Tiger King (bonus point if you've sent a TK meme to a friend)
4. Quoted a statistic regarding COVID-19 in conversation
5. Received a delivery of groceries or take out food
6. Worn the same pair of yoga or pajama pants for more than 2 days in a row
7. Cut your bangs
8. Had a change in employment status (laid off, work from home, schedule change)
9. Said the phrase "social distancing" more than 25 times
10. Worn a "makeshift" type of mask e.g., a bandana or a clear cooking pot lid encased in a hoodie
11. Worn "makeshift" gloves e.g., a ziploc baggie, winter gloves, or long shirt sleeve
12. Cleaned out a closet
13. Attended a zoom meeting
14. Read a book
15. Learned a Tik Tok dance
16. Stood outside of a family or friend's house
17. Counted how many rolls of toilet paper you have
