I’ve been handling the Plague and The End Of The World As We Know It fairly well. I kept wondering, though, when (not if) I was going to have a freakout. Yesterday turned out to be that day. It was triggered by a few things. Two nights ago, I had an allergy attack, the kind […]
Normally I try to ask a question at the bottom of my blog post but I figured I’d start with asking: how are you doing? How are you holding up? I hope that all of you are well and safe. We’re doing fine out here. We’re still adjusting, though. I’m still writing. I’m actually starting
