There’s palpable exhaustion in the air. We’re exhausted from the pandemic and all the grief that goes with it. We're positively enervated by our rage at the hypocrisy of Republicans who sit in determined opposition to Biden’s cabinet nominees, yet remained silent on the lack of qualifications of the prior administration’s kakistocracy. (and acquitted a president who incited an attack on our democracy, and on their very lives.) Those with children are exhausted trying to juggle all that goes with trying to navigate jobs, remote schooling, and the confusing promise of schools' imminent reopening, however that's supposed to look. Those of us who are single are wiped out from the isolation. And then there's the exhaustive waiting for vaccines to return us to some version of normalcy. But at least this year, there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon.
Still, with the exhaustion in mind, I'll keep this note brief, wishing you all rest, comfort, contentment, and good health. We will get through. Almost there ...
Stay safe, stay well -
