193. I'm wishing you the best of luck in your treatments,
Fri Mar 6, 2026, 06:28 PM
12 hrs ago

and sending you lots of healing light for your situation. You're one of the people I look forward to "seeing" every day around here, so I'll definitely miss you. But I'm fighting my own fight with all the politics. Blood pressure going up too high and staying there, anxiety and rage with no catharsis. I'm backing away from some of it, little by little, myself. I only check in here once, maybe twice a day most days now. And other than substack, I'm not on any social media anymore.

I know you're around my area someplace, so if you ever need anything please DM me. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts...
