jon_chaissonWoo, I've got today off! The last couple of days at work haven't been too bad. Last night got a little exhausting, as it was raining hard for quite a long time and keeping everyone at home, only to have a sudden surge come in once it stopped. If anything it was an eight hour shift that felt like twelve. Bleh!
Noted, I'm thinking I'm probably going to need a social media detox again. It's partly because the Rs are up to their usual destructive nonsense again and everybody (rightfully) has something to say about it; I do too, but I often feel overwhelmed whenever this wave comes rushing through and I end up wasting a day spiraling by watching the destruction in real time on Threads or wherever, and I REALLY need to stop doing that. It helps no one and it certainly doesn't help me either. Plus, I've finally got my blood pressure down to normal levels these days and I'd like it to stay there. Sure, I'll check the news for updates, but otherwise I need to back away. So yeah, I'm still out here, just keeping a safe distance. Planning and preparing ahead of time.
Anyway, going to spend the day getting things done that need doing.
