Love Rachel, but don't know if I can hang on,

[elleng]

after Nancy P's 'prescription.'

AND home alone!

[malaise]

1. I took a peep

and turned it off.

2. Seems we're all burned out and bummed out after yesterday. Ive been avoiding news

reports today. I need to step away, regain some strength, then come back to fight another day....

[elleng]

3. Look forward to being out and about tomorrow,

cleaning up, picking some roses, driving to farm market for strawberries that taste like strawberries, packing it all up for my daughter, listening to my radio station, and maybe watching an old West Wing tomorrow night.

4. I spent a lot of time outside today...

cut my grass and my neighbors--she recently had knee surgery. It was a beautiful day, it did help my mood from last night. Tomorrow I'll do the grocery shopping so I'll be out again.

5. Glad to know I wasn't the only one.

I too avoided the news today.

6. I've been watching HGTV after work.

Before work, it was Minnesota local news. I don't think that I can even listen to my Stephanie Miller podcast. I'll be back on MSNBC next week, but for now, I'm taking a break.
