Friday Five: Officially at the Pandemic Wall

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but I’m glad to have made it through February. Nothing specific I just seem to be at that pandemic wall and dealing with all the feelings around it. I’m hopeful that I can really use this weekend to reset (as best as we can right now) and be in a better headspace to start the new month.
