I discovered LDG when I was severely depressed and didn't really leave the house but needed some kind of human exposure, and it was very soothing. I never attend live b/c of the time zone difference, but the classes come with a recording that you can watch on your own time.

Another thing that feels like a luxury, though maybe this is just me, is giving myself permission to play with art supplies w/o feeling like I need to make anything, like literally just to play. :)

That’s the distinction between Star Wars and Star Trek. In Star Wars the ultimate evil is a tempter figure, it’s Satan, it’s someone whispering look what you can have if you learn to hate.

I don't disagree, but for your consideration I posit two notes re: brushing your teeth AFTER you drink coffee: (1) minty fresh mouth makes coffee taste gank, and (2) the acidity in coffee temporarily softens your tooth enamel, and brushing during this often 1-hr period can damage your teeth.
