so, here we are again, 8.5 months later and worse off than we were at the beginning. it's frustrating to see the rozz-tox fam over in china getting back to a pre-pandemic narrative and we're still dicking around trying to get everyone to wear a mask.
i definitely see us heading for a stay-at-home order in the next week or two, and i'm okay with that. the only problem with this is that it only works if everyone does it and, i hope i am wrong but, that's not going to happen. our only hope is a vaccine that will slowly reduce the numbers. this is going to be america's story for the next couple of years ya'll.
i guess all we can do now while we wait is trust science, math and credible sources for news, and each do our part by staying home if possible, wearing masks when out in public, washing hands frequently, physically distancing yourself from people that you do not live with. this is going to be difficult winter. take care of your mental health as much as you are your physical health.
our advice for surviving a winter at home during a pandemic:
• exercise
• meditate
• read
• journal
• vitamin D
• vitamin C
• healthy diet
• listen to music
• design the lighting in your home to make you feel good
• regular phone/ video calls with family & friends
• and a psilocybin micro dose once in a while

she would def cry if she knew how supportive ya’ll have been. we have exceeded our fundraising goal and have also received a grant from the state.

update 11/02/2020:
well, we were going to reopen the inside on 11.11, but the state has outlined new mitigations to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in effect from 11.04, so we will have to push back the reopening to a later date. stay tuned.
