Quarantine week 3. I’m calling it now. This is the week that people are officially going to start going nuts. Week 1 was cute and fun and was a real-life-snow-week for adults. Last week, people started getting real. This week is when people start losing it or getting better. I mean, it’s getting to me - so I get it. There’s two ways things go from here.
