Hey everybody, before we start today's show, I want to say here at LifeKit, we know this is a really

difficult time for everyone. Things are uncertain and stressful, but we're grateful to be able to

bring you the tools you need to navigate life right now. One of the reasons we're able to bring

you tips about money, family, and health during this time is because of our listener donations.

So please, if you're able to, give what you can to your local NPR station today.

Head to donate.npr.org slash life to get you started.

Good morning, my name is Kit. This is Sophia Aguilar. My husband and I, Edmundo,

we have a pack on exercising. We live in California. We have a two-story house,

and so what we do is we do our stairs every day, three times a day, and so what we do is my

husband stands on the top of the stairs. I stand on the bottom of the stairs and we pass each

other and so as we go up and we come down, that's one, and so we do it five times, three times a day.

We've given a whole new meaning to the stairs in our house. We used to just see them as

getting from one floor to the other, but now that is our exercise routine.

How are you coping right now during this pandemic? Leave us a voicemail with your tip about how you're

making your day a little easier at 202-216-9823 again, 202-216-9823. Say your full name,

where you're from, your tip, and the number where we can reach you. You can always also email us

at lifekitnpr.org and thank you so much. Okay, thank you. Have a wonderful day. Bye-bye.

This is NPR's Life Kit. I'm Shireen Marisol Maraji. I've been searching for things to lift my

spirits these days and nothing beats watching online videos of high school kids getting their

college acceptance letters. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Like this one of Jada Wilts, she's surrounded

by classmates and loved ones. Everyone's waiting nervously for the big reveal. Will she get in or

won't she? Obviously, she got in. Everyone's screaming and hugging. The entire scene is pure joy.
