to ask for investigation into tRump/Pence before allowing any nominee to the court to replace Kennedy. While I agree in theory, it is a waste for me to call Matt Gaetz. He is a weasel who is cozying up to tRump as fast as he can. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass what I think about anything. I haven’t felt this hopeless in a long time. I’m too worn out to even cry.

I think it's a healthy thing to do. I have been trying to spend more time on things that make me laugh and cheer me up, but for some reason, I can't seem to pull myself away from this ongoing train wreck.

I can tell it is having a horrible effect on me - physically, emotionally, mentally. I am glad I have therapy on Friday.

Take care of yourself and enjoy your sabbatical. Personally, I think you are very wise.

get a pedicure (good for men or women)

Get a massage. Rest

Then

fire up that charged battery and get out there

I have volunteered to work at the D tent during the county fair and donated money for the candidate I pray is the rare D in Kansas

Go outside in the sunshine.

Take all the time you need. We will still be here when you return.
