Lupus can sometimes render you immobile, but that doesn't mean your relationships have to suffer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some fun ways to interact with your friends and family when you can't physically leave the house!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Netflix & Chill (REMIX)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pick a date and time to watch a movie with a friend on Netflix. On that day, call each other via facetime or regular voice call and start the movie at the same time. This makes for a great movie date!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

-Use voice-to-text instead of plain old texting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Voice-to-text is a far better method of communicating than plain text because you can hear tone and inflections. (I have very long nails, which makes texting challenging...long nails are a necessary evil in my opinion — don't come for me lol 💅🏾) I like this method because there is no confusion about what I say or how I say it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

-Mail a typical purchase as a gift⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of these online shopping retailers have a "send as a gift" option. You'll be able to type a personalized message that'll be on the packaging slip. Sending a gift is a great way to show someone you are thinking about them. For example, I sent my mother a bottle of flea spray via Amazon after she said she saw fleas on her dog. It was something that I would have bought her anyways, but sending it as a "gift" instead of handing her the spray in a crumpled up Walmart sack made the gesture more grandiose. 🐶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you tried any of these methods?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
