My household being large is occasionally A Lot with all of us home all the time, but I'm grateful to have companionship (4 adults 2 toddlers 2 cats 1 snek). We are co-isolating with partner's sister & her family so we do see them. We also saw partner's dad and stepmom (masked/distanced) in the yard yesterday, and that was nice. On video I did my birthday with friends around the world-- I held Zooms at times suitable for East Asia/Australia and for Europe. The random mix of friends wound up being pretty fun! The other thing I've been most enjoying on video is "chore chat" or "craft chat" with a friend. We do things that can be done during chat (cooking, mending, some quieter cleaning activities) and talk; it somehow feels more natural than some of the inevitable "uh, how is your quarantine going, so and so has the virus" kind of conversations that can feel sad or awkward or repetitive. So that's been really good and makes the cycle of chores feel less chore-y. I never mend anything and I got all my mending done!
