Happy April 75th! Or is it the 99th? How’s everyone doing? Holding it together? Having Zoom meetings while your dog barks at the mail carrier?

Day 11 – Locking it Down with CPM
We skipped day 10. Sorry! Welcome to Day 11! We were hoping you could do some really important things for yourself today: Don’t watch the news. Stay off social media, it’s full of news (After you’re done reading this, of course) Shelter-in-place except for absolute necessities. Find things to keep you busy. Maybe it’s a … Continue reading
