How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

For whatever it is worth to history, I wish to register that I do not like finding out that we are suddenly at war with Iran. I do not need any more specters of annihilation, nuclear or otherwise. I get enough stress from my regular life.

(These Crusader fantasists. My entire lifetime. Their Armageddon wet dreams. Why will the sand not eat them alone.)

That's as accurate a way to describe what we're living through as any I might have thought of. At this point, I'm assigning some Fluffy Bunny time for myself in the coming week, and I hope you can have such relief as well.

(Fluffy Bunny time is a term my Best Beloved and I long ago borrowed from a friend who uses it to describe the necessity of backing away from horror by thinking of fluffy baby animals for as long as needed for continued mental and emotional health.)
