In this time of empty restaurants and closed stores, what little things do you plan so you can look forward to them?

Ooh I like the postcards! I sent a batch of postcards to friends during the 1st or 2d week, but not since then. *makes mental note to write postcards tonight*

What do you write about? I can never think of anything to write about until I've filled up half the writing space with banal pleasantries, and then end up squishing some thoughts in in teeny tiny writing once my brain comes up with something interesting.

postcards are a good way to say 'hi, I'm thinking of you' - and often that's pretty much what mine say. not all the (many) people in my massive address book are extremely close friends, so with them I might even work up a little script and add personal notes relating to the individual. that can save brain power, especially when I'm feeling fraught.

if it's a closer friend, I'll update on my life a bit, and ask specific questions about theirs. but I've found (from receiving them) that even a fairly banal note is great - a nice change from the flyer and bills, and a reminder someone is thinking of you
