Such a beautiful afternoon! I'm on "vacation" for Such a beautiful afternoon! I'm on "vacation" for five days before starting CTU 😱. Decided to treat myself to Starbucks through the drive thru as I had a free bevy, then walked by the cherry blossoms (socially distanced of course!). How are you guys passing time in quarantine?

I live alone so social distancing has been hard as f!$k. I'm glad to have reminders around my room to calm me down (inhale, exhale) and cheer me up (photos of friends and loved ones). Anyone else realize they really love their spaces? I also realized there are certain areas I want to improve, like my living room, to have better lighting once the sun goes down! Anyone have a favourite floor lamp they wanna recommend?
