R, We need the social interaction, and we need to be outside more. No wonder your spirits lifted. I find I got used to sheltering, and now it feels normal. But it's really important for my mental health to get out and be with friends, so I'm bucking the temptation to be a couch potato (computer potato.) To that end, I'll make two phone calls after I finish this post, and then I'll go for a walk/jog. (consider it my steps for today.)
Happy gathering in person!
