I know there's terrible stuff happening.
I am helping the best I can.
But being constantly inundated by the awfulness leaves me in a drained state of helpless dread that renders me useless.
We all need breaks.
Thank you for your silliness.

The person I caught COVID from had gotten the latest booster; I hadn't.
They were fine after three days; I'm just starting to improve after a year and a half of debilitating symptoms.
