This will keep you busy and most of us know, the best way to feel better is to help someone else. Neighbor Michele McKittrick needs a few Pen Pals and helpers who sew:

With everyone cooped up at home, now is a good time for doing Maria Kondo and other small projects around the house. Is there some little thing around the house that you’ve been putting off? I am a perfectionist when it comes to painting and it’s hard to find someone that quite stacks up other than my own husband who is meticulous when it comes to p
reparation. So the front door of our home, which takes a beating from the sun and had several cracks and the paint was woefully faded, has been stripped, filled, sanded and painted. Even the hardware has a fresh new shiny look. He even took the 1936 lock apart and oiled it- the key works better than the day we moved in 23 years ago! Next is my office and those pesky closets!
