I didn’t realize my break since the last post was so long – taking care of things and enjoying the few days we have when it is comfortable to be outside and walking and not ducking out at dusk to get some exercise. I have to get my legs ready for a trip that I want to enjoy.

I’m staying a bit more on top of the news of late, while taking advice from people who have to follow it for their livelihoods – unplug every now and then, spend time with friends, and get news from a variety of trusted sources. Nothing too extreme for me on either end.

Courts are still courting; I can’t believe the patience of some of the judges I’m reading about. Very glad that I’m not one of the lawyers in front of them with clients who may be outright lying or ignoring the court orders.

Things catch up to you. It may take some time, but eventually these things seem to sort out. It’s just stressful watching people get hurt by what’s happened so far.

It’s also nice to stay involved with the Citizen Archivist transcribing that I learned about a few years ago. I had been away from it for a while but have gotten to do some at least a few days a week for an hour or so.

It takes what it takes for change. I stay hopeful in the meantime.
