In a seeming perpetual state of weighed down. Thankfully, Spring showed up last week - it literally happens overnight here, and I have spent most of my time involved in putting out a small garden because I can't live without flowers and some veggies would be nice too. I am feeling a bit less bogged down in the political mire by getting outside and limiting my exposure to the news for now. My therapist likes that idea as a diversion from the dregs of life in these times.
