Just caught up like 10 pages of this thread. Phew!

You're all in my thoughts, even when I'm not around.

********************

It's been hot. Oh.so.hot. Ugh!! Things have been going pretty alright, but I am in a state I call "subdued". Which, translated, would likely be some level of depression. I'm usually getting things done, but there is an underlying hopelessness. I feel that it may be largely situational (especially as my usual add-on med isn't helping, and usually does). The world is just such a s***show right now. And then there's the jack-booted thugs stomping our constitutional civil rights into the ground right here in my city. I cannot tell you how much it enrages me. This is not the america we like to think it is. We are under siege from our own government. This is utterly unacceptable. It is unconscionable.

Feeling powerless, lonely, hopeless and confused. But whatever. Onward we go.
