Lots of great, free yoga classes online. CBD tincture + chamomile or mint tea is really nice. If you’re a lady , invest in a nice vibrator. (I’ve heard they can be nice for men as well but can’t speak from experience on that one.)

But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
