Happy birthday to your father! I feel for people whose birthdays occur during this mess. Mine was just before, and I don't know what things will be like next year for the next one.

I've been having similar thoughts to yours, although I think my space is less constrained and I have only intermittent chronic pain of a minor variety. But the depth of time in which so many necessary, desperately needed or desperately wanted things cannot happen, is daunting. I hope they will find a good anti-viral. I would feel so much better if we had a real federal government and not a sabotaging arbitrary mass of nonsense.

It's cheering that governors on both coasts are banding together to do sensible things. It's just all so slow.
