I’m fine for a few seconds until I remember we live in a fascist state now.

Trying to read just enough news to stay informed but not so much so as to get really depressed and anxious. My TV is never on during the day. I get my news from scanning DU.

Trying to stay busy helps. Taking care of our families and our fur babies helps. Maybe once the weather breaks, we can get outside more, and that helps a lot.

Give your kidcats an extra scritch for me, Siwsan.
