I am stuck in a ‘red’ state, with a conspiracy-embracing family who I have not gotten along with since I was 11 and took back my personal autonomy. I am the sole caretaker of my mother, who has dementia. It sucks. Thankfully I do have a fantastic support group, via phone calls and texts. The past week and a half has been scary. But I know, to paraphrase Anne Frank, that there is good in this world. And too, there are good people in this world. I only need to take a deep breathe, and look for them.
And yes, dear reader, the good in this world includes you! My only regret is Magnus cannot jump through the screen and give us puppy cuddles. That would definitely help the healing process.
All the feels.
