Kate's trying to feel grateful for the time she has with her kids, but briefly panics when she thinks they might have lice. (Spoiler: they don't.) Meanwhile, Doree has completed a mysterious baking project and downloaded the Peloton app. Then we have a special pandemic poetry reading (!) by author and poet Leigh Stein, and give some recs for good non-big-box beauty and comfortable clothing sites.

The word of the day is: PATIENCE. The activity of the day is: STROLL THROUGH THE JAPANESE GARDEN IN BLOOM AT THE BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN.
