The COVID-19 pandemic is taking the world by storm. With millions of people out of work, hundreds of thousands of people sick, and thousands dead, we're all feeling the pain. Those that are not sick are worried they may be next. Once simple chores like going out to the grocery store can be a nerve wracking experience.
While we can't change these alarming facts, we can all do our part to help keep them from getting worse. We all know by now to limit travel and social interaction to only those deemed essential. This is going to be tough, but we can do it. If you do go out, keep your distance, cover your mouth and wash your hands with soap and water often.
OK, now that we have that out of the way, and since we're sure you've heard it several times already, here are our top four ideas on how to stay cozy and comfy while you're sheltered up at home.
Create a nice place to relax - Since you'll be at home more than usual, make a few simple changes to enhance your cozy level. Toss some extra pillows on the couch or get creative with the arraignment of your furniture. Remember this is only temporary so go for it.
Listen to audiobooks - This is a great way to keep your mind off the news and get educated and/or entertained at the same time. There are many paid and free services offering audiobooks. You can even borrow them from your public library via RecordedBooks
Play board games or cards - Dust off that pack of playing cards and teach the kiddos a new game, or pull out the box of board games that no one ever has time for and have some fun.
Order some new slippers - Finally, order your self and everyone in the family a new pair of slippers. Nothing says cozy like a new pair of soft slippers.
