It’s been seven weeks since Minnesota offices, businesses and restaurants shut down to comply with the governor’s Stay At Home order. Seven weeks of spending 99% of my day in a 1-bedroom apartment with my boyfriend, dog and cat. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been faring really well! We are healthy and our jobs allow […]
