I've been missing hugs with my friends since the pandemic started, but the kids and Tony hug me every day and today when I was feeling low I got lots of hugs from Caitlin - it really really helps.
Animals I've had a few encounters this week with wild animals (masked lapwings, swallows, kangaroos) and I love seeing them and observing what they are doing. Closer to home, spending time with Winky and Luna and the chickens and Yondu (the fish) is enjoyable and (although sometimes frustrating) usually soothing.
Multi-player Video Games the kids and I have played Monopoly on the Xbox a few times lately - way more fun and less stressful than playing it as a boardgame, somehow. The kids are all playing various multi-player games with their friends online, while chatting on the phone or Discord - it's such a great way to stay connected.
Having a car. My car is at the mechanics for about a week, and although I'm not going out much at the moment I do like the safety of knowing there's a car here if I need it - Dad lent me his car until I get mine back and it feels great to know that I can use it if I need it.
