You're not alone.

With all bars, cafes, nightclubs, dine-in restaurants, clothing stores, salons, schools, libraries, concert halls, sports stadiums, gyms, recreational spaces, entertainment facilities and more nowclosed under the order of Ontario's provincial government, weekend plans are looking grim.

But don't resign yourself to an endless string of binge-watching sessions just yet: Some of Toronto'scoolest activitiescan actuallycome to youthanks to a fewcreative modifications.

The new "full Mack at Home" kit includes two Angelus Direct leather paints of the winner's choice, three paint brushes, custom laces, lace locks, aglets and all tools and finishers necessary to complete the customization job.

More importantly, it also includes a 1 on 1 video chat with a Mack Tech guide to help you through the entire process — which I can say from experience is 100 per cent necessary unless you're already a kick-modding pro.

And if sneakers aren't your thing, fret not: Mack House is far from the only local business changing up its operations to provide customers with entertainment from afar.

Not only can you order tons ofdelicious foodanddrinkright to your door, you can getDIY pizza kitsfrom some of the city's best pie-makers,free delivery from local book stores, purchase groceries froma virtual farmer's marketand evenperuse the ROM and AGOfrom the comfort of your couch.

It's not ideal, but it's better than watchingContagionon Netflix again, I promise.
