having a gone day

Fri, Mar 15, 2019

Sorry, guys. I’m right at the edge of seriously losing my shit today. Not able to concentrate on anything. Everything big and small is trying to push me over the edge.

Normal posting should resume tomorrow, hopefully.

share and enjoy

Totally understandable. No need for apologies as far as I’m concerned. Feel better!

The world in this moment isn’t making things easy on anybody. I’m sorry, MaryAnn. Hang in there.

A day off helps.

It wasn’t a day “off,” though. It was a day raging and despairing. It was far from relaxing or rejuvenating.

Absolutely understandable and celebrated; take the time you need. Sending hopeful thoughts and support for whatever raging is required from Seattle.

Your mental toughness is admirable – most people would have been emotionally exhausted decades ago shouldering your workload and dealing with the Chinese water torture of online trolls. There’s no need to apologize.

Some days you’re the bird, some days you’re the buffalo. Hopefully, the bird days will come again soon.
