At-home learning #6

It looks like this thing will go on for quite a while. But spring is slowly creeping in, so be sure to get outdoors. A daily walk is a great way to counter the blahs. While you're indoors, here are some more ideas for continuing to learn and stay sane:

Pamper yourself

Dig out all the bath and body products you've got stashed away somewhere. That hair product your kids talked you into? The foot cream someone put in your Christmas stocking? Use them. Then give yourself and your fellow inmates a pedicure.

Write something
Why not start a journal? There's no better way to unload some frustration and make a record for your great-grandchildren of the Great Self-Quarantine of 2020. Of course, it doesn't have to be about our currently altered lives. It could be about nature, or family, or just short observations about what's around you. Or whatever you're thinking about.

Write some poetry, or an actual snail-mail letter or two.  Or a song.

Try something crazy to stretch your brain:
(Thanks to a USA Today article for these:

• Do some things with your non-dominant hand, like brushing your teeth or using scissors. 
• Eat your meals backwards for a day: meat and potatoes for breakfast, bacon and eggs for dinner.
• Speak in Pig Latin for a morning. Ig-pay Atin-lay.

Learn something new:
PBS has pages for teachers that could teach us all about an interesting variety of topics, from Jackie Robinson to The Handmaid's Tale:
