Re: What is one thing you won't take for granted after this?
I had a park hang with my improv team recently and as I was greeting them I had these weird, unbidden physical memories of hugging them. Like, the psychic sensation of embracing each of their bodies, and remembering so clearly how each of them felt mid-hug.
I miss hugging.

I have never seen these drill attachments but they look so cool! Please purchase and report back.
I have also been rage/grief cleaning. Everything is terrible but my duvet smells great? Bleg.
