  My Stupid Dead iPhone

  This phone crashed on me the beginning of last week. While I waited for my new phone to arrive in the mail, it was at first liberating to be without at phone. I didn't check the news as much, didn't feel as weighed down emotionally. However, it quickly became more anxiety-producing to not have a phone. It was harder to communicate with the outside world. When I did have to call someone, I used my husband's phone. This prompted friends to worry that I was laying in a ditch somewhere. It felt very good when that package arrived from Apple.

  New York Times Mini Crossword Puzzle May 4, 2020

  Since self-isolation began for my household, my husband and I have started doing crosswords from the NYT (New York Times) with friends via Zoom. We can share our screens and complete the puzzles together. It has been good way to exercise our brains and connect with others. I'd be curious to see if subscriptions for the NYT Crossword, which has its own separate subscription option, have increased in the last few weeks.
