Woke up feeling like shit. Currently chugging along like a madman on the elliptical machine until my heart forces me to stop. I’ll probably still feel like shit but at least I won’t have so much nervous adrenaline to burn off.

Finally ended the workday. It has been a bad day, peaking at around 6’5 on the SUDS scale. Painful medical tests, weeks of rain (and disasters) and see people dear to me despair, extreme workload, is compounded into making a very uneasy day/week/month. Just feel tired.

I went for a long bike ride, and yes, it did help to wash out some of that adrenaline. It also helped to see that the world out there still looked the same, even though our society already doesn’t.

Nope, not good at all, but this place is a lifeline.

I’m numb, but I won’t let myself fall into despair. Life goes on for now. I made some plans with some friends. I’m going to hold on to those close to me and find whatever happiness I can for as long as I can.

Well, if anyone needs a strategist and/or a safe house I’m here.
Staying below the general radar since the beginning of the pandemic may well’ve been a good thing, as it turns out.

The original artist made a follow-up comic in the final months of the 2016 election that once again feels apropos.

Not good at all. I’m practicing avoidance by making lots of food. But I’m also hitting the sauce, hard, and I’m this close to lighting a cigarette for the first time in 20+ years.

Don’t do it! Being that self destructive would be a way of letting Tromp win yet again.

Oh, do I feel you my friend 
I’ve never smoked but the temptation to get roaring drunk today was really high.
I did some yoga instead. It actually helped.
Went with Yoga with Adrienne in my living room because I didn’t want to see any strangers

I’ve been distracting myself by working on the long put off task of getting the boxes I have in my office sorted through and dealt with, mostly because I need to make room in the next couple weeks for some new equipment that’s getting ordered on Friday.
Along with playing music at unreasonable volumes on my pale imitation of the Listening Room (which has a shameless knock-off of Disaster Area’s sound check system as it’s main driver, especially when backed by a Cat D600 genset…)

I’m mindlessly working on a rock wall for my model railroad. Feeling numb; trying not to feel the shock, horror, and anger.

I had my AA meeting tonight. It’s an LGBTQIA+ AA meeting. We had near record attendance. People are not ok.
