I took a whole day off (Sunday) with No news other than local weather. I might make that a habit...

It felt good!

I'm posting this before I've looked at anything.

Now into the maelstrom! 😮 😄



If a really big story re drumph in unfolding on a Sat I'd probably follow on Sunday

When the first four or five articles on any website every single damn day have to do with the orange one or his deplorable enablers, taking time away from it all is healthier than one can imagine.

Every now and then I take a week, and it's exponentially better. I'd like to take a month, but I haven't been able to make it that far yet!

Got it. 👍


I'm too much of a news junkie! 😄
But this did feel really good like a warm, soft buffer.

I was actually thinking about getting a good crusty roll, and butter the last two days. Something I haven't had in a long time. 👍
