I’d rather not go for the Gringch.
This morning’s early posts were enough for me to go take a 5 mile walk.
There’s enought anxiety here already, for me to feed into the dark side.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the Kewl Kids Sanark is too much for my sensitive, in which case, I apologize.
Took me four hours for the 5 mile walk…I live in hills…up and down.
Just know that I see a lot of people feeling the Holiday Angst.
Bless you all. That’s the best I can offer at this point.
