Hello, we made it to Friday.

I'm here in the closet of my back bedroom.

Are you also home?

It's almost the weekend, and you know what that means for me?

I'll still be home.

So we thought one way we could help organize

this long stretch of uncertain time

is with some assignments, homework assignments.

Here's your first one.

This week, you've helped us start building

a pandemic toolkit.

It's a Google spreadsheet of things that have helped you.

Things to listen to, things to watch, things to do,

places to give.

There's a link to that in our show notes.

Your assignment this weekend is to do something off

that toolkit and then send us a field report.

It can be a picture, a voice memo, anything.

And we'll share some of those reports back with you

in our newsletter next week.

So here are some ideas from the toolkit.
