9. I think many of us feel this way right now

Its very easy to sit in the AC in front of the computer. I have to make myself go out in the heat and humidity to get things done.

There have been times in my past that I feel like my critters literally saved my life. It made me get out of bed because I knew they totally depended on me.

Do you have a pet? Can you plant a small container garden? I saw some good suggestions earlier about things you can do virtually, like starting or joining, a virtual book club, an art or music discussion group, things like that.

How about an online therapist? You're not alone in feeling like you want to melt into the upholstery.

We're here for you.
