Take care. I love you,’” she beams about her typical routine. “The most essential thing in my home right now is definitely fast, seamless, and reliable internet. With our work, it can get so hectic.

I can go to any room and not really mind anything at all. There’s no lag or frustration on my part, so it’s been especially fun recently catching up with my friends and family online.”
