Everything is still friggen winding down, but at least it's actually winding down. The lack of cramps (outside a few very brief pangs) has been a blessing.

And as much as I want to follow what's happening in various parts of the news, I can't. I'll end up overwhelmed and that will be stressful and paralyzing. I would much rather just not, knowing that this is what's best for me. Your mileage, etc. I don't need to self-sabotage what enjoyment I do get out of this life of mine. I've done it before. While it sucked at the time, the lesson has been invaluable.
