I'm in a similar family, economic and health state as you and am thankful for that.

I am so weary of the insult to injury drama we've collectively suffered to the point of PTSD over the last three years. I wake up every day wondering what fresh hell awaits. On the outside, cheery. On the inside, weary. Every day.

I just want good old boring good government again. Can I haz that? Just a government that's honest, dependable and representative enough of Americans, on good terms with other countries? Will we ever again get past this horror?

Just the thought that we may never have a constitutional democracy again adds even more weight and darkness to my days.

For now all I can say is, may we survive and thrive after this body and soul killing time.

Thank you for your post. I have to go lie down.
