In an effort to boost spirits, reconnect with all my team mates at SPS Commerce, give each parent something new to see/do/interact with, and generally just bring a smile to some faces, Parker and I set out on a 13 hour journey to deliver dozens of care packages to everyone in the Toronto office.
We ate out for three meals, covered about 800kms (500 miles), reconnected at a safe distance with many people, and absolutely mission accomplished!
Included in each care package was - a toy or game to play with kids - a gratitude journal to help remind us all of what we have to be thankful for - a few adult beverages to have a toast or help survive the day! - a handmade facemask - a chocolate bar - some glow sticks, because why not! - a quick grow kit of tomatoes, strawberries, or flower bulbs so that we can all grow something in this time
It was so great to see everyone, but more than that, it was great having Parker all to myself for the whole day. We talked about so many things, it was wonderful!
