Weird that you've had a mild so far Winter too... and no hockey must be just so strange. It's gotta get better.... soon? (Please?)<br /><br />Yeah, that's totally it Jason, "ok" but not ok.... and at least now there are the three of us feeling this way which means there are likely lots of others feeling this way... <br /><br />*hugs all round*Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353740485888176936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32545265.post-77294128667280493362021-01-18T14:02:25.248-08:002021-01-18T14:02:25.248-08:00I find it's this weird "I'm okay, but...I find it's this weird "I'm okay, but not okay" state. I mean, people ask "how are you?" and I can say I'm alright. I'm not sick, I'm working, I have food and a roof, there's lot of entertainment for distraction.<br /><br />But ... I'm not okay, for all those reasons you mention. The US. Pandemic. Economics. Politics. Everything. But that's all so big, it's not something to talk about, because it feels like it just amplifies it.<br /><br />I guess I just feel where you're coming from, and for me, at least, a small part of me feels better than I'm not the only one in a similar state.<br /><br />*hugs*Jason Langloishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507550527211520786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32545265.post-10591435816886757552021-01-18T13:30:49.458-08:002021-01-18T13:30:49.458-08:00There's just so much negative going on right, ...There's just so much negative going on right, it's almost impossible to tune out and turn off. Even the safety and quiet of your home is a struggle right now as we never get to leave. Working from home is great, but it never ends, it's there 24/7. My parents are aging too and are 3 hours away. This was the first Christmas in I can't remember how long that we weren't together.<br /><br />And our winter has been crappy...rainy and no snow, so the normal outdoor activities - cross country skiing, hiking in the snow, snow shoeing aren't happening. And this is the first winter in 48 years I haven't played a minute of hockey (I started when I was 4).<br /><br />All of this is piling up to make for a stressful time. I really it hope it gets better soon for all of us. This sucks.Elliottnoreply@blogger.com
