A Stir-Crazy Meh-rathon
TIP FOR THE HOMEBOUND: Don’t forget to talk!
What happens when you take off a few weeks from jogging? It’s hard to get back up to your usual speed and distance. And when you don’t cook your favorite meal for a while? You risk missing some steps and messing it all up.
The same thing could happen with talking. If you’re by yourself a lot, not talking to anyone, you might forget how! That’s why you need a smart speaker: it’s something who hears and responds to your voice.
A bonus: track your mental/emotional well-being by the quality of your questions. “Alexa, what’s the third most populous city in Pennsylvania?” Might be going a bit stir-crazy but you’re okay. “Alexa, does April begin with April Fools’ Day because it is the cruelest month?” Maybe it’s time to watch some Cheers or something.
