21. You are going to have to pace yourself, we have a long battle ahead of us.

We need to stay strong and prepared.

I knew this was going to happen and tried to batten down the hatches
and make safeguards. And trying to get as healthy as possible before it gets
even worse.

Has your doc run some blood work to see if there are underlying problems?
I am trying to get all diagnostic work done while I still have insurance.
Trump wants to take it all away.

The battle between good and evil is the iconic human condition.
It is an eternal battle I think.
We were spoiled, we had a break after WWII.
The men came home from war and just wanted peace in the valley.
So we had peace and prosperity for a while and got spoiled.
We thought it was the natural order of things.

But we are back to the battle again. Good vs Evil.

Back to a world gone crazy and evil like WWII.

Pace yourself and realize that you are not alone in the battle.
We are stronger together.
