I posted last night at 1 am because I couldn't sleep, hadn't done my dishes and have felt so lost with no hope.

Update: I did my dishes. I went and stocked up groceries for a few weeks. I made a very healthy pizza for my husband and I and have peanut butter cookies in the oven. We went to church for the first time in months this morning. Pastor encouraged us to journal our thoughts and feelings. Was feeling so encouraged by all the comments on my last post and someone somewhere said "work on hobbies...this is how we win". I spent the day learning a new hobby- urban organic gardening! Spent the day not talking politics, instead working on my home and my spiritual and marital health. Because that's what matters. Regardless of what happens this week, I have my health and my husband and my family.

The Lord is near to us, He will never leave his children or forsake them!

If you're feeling stressed, journal. Hunker down and spend time in the real world. Spend time with your loved ones. Learn a new hobby! Take some time off from the hopium (it's really hard I know!) You can do it. I finally did it.

It was a good day. Thanks frens.

This is truth. Sometimes, a break is exactly, what's needed.

I need to work on a business plan for a MAGA friendly airline.

As much as I hate to say it go check out Richard Branson's biography "Losing my Virginity". Interesting story on how he started Virgin. Also, airlines are a very expensive business to be in with very thin margins. If anything, we need a business model that is disruptive to the airline industry as it currently stands. What would that look like, I have no clue. But it probably involves something with less TSA, more passenger space, and worry free of the Chi-Com Virus which absolutely decimated airline travel.

I was offline for most of the weekend because of Comcast being complete morons. Now I'm back and catching up while getting some other online tasks done, but almost 48 hours with no internet was...nice. Got a lot done! I have hobbies, I'm diving back into them more now.

I miss my mom's peanut butter cookies. Gonna get the recipe from my sister and try them this week.

Lately restoring old tools. I have a bunch of my grandfather's, and I'm bringing them back to life. Plus reading, music, photography, all kinds of hands-on, creative things. I also have a long project scanning and restoring old, old family photos. I want to get back into furniture restoration, too.

That all sounds incredible!! Music is definitely a hobby of mine, I'm just getting into reading. Got some good conservative authors for Christmas! My husband and I restored and old coffee table this summer and Seriously wondered why we've never done anything like that before?! It was SO fun and so rewarding!!!

You can find some great furniture cheap, or free, that only needs some small repairs, or layers of paint removed. I've always hated the disposable society. Things used to be built to last!

If you want to see a master at work, check out Thomas Johnson on YouTube, if you're still using that site. I'll never be his level, but I learn something with every video he does.

Awesome thanks so much!! I am still there, but I'm using Vance, not sure if that makes it better lol at this point I'm learning too much to ditch it. It's the best free resource for literally anything you can think of!

I started a small business to keep me busy a few years back and I can either make everything myself, or buy it all and pay a fortune. It's taken time, but I've used Youtube to learn how to make $300 products for $30!

do you have a garden outside ? or like a tent urban ?

A garden outside!

Is urban gardening like homeless gardening? I'm VERY new to this, I assumed it was just gardening when you have no real ground and just a patio πŸ˜‚

I have been perfecting my breadmaking. When I get stressed, I bake.

I'm glad you are refreshed. You sounded really frazzled last night. I said a little prayer for you asking that the basic lessons of life and an indomitable spirit be returned to you. Best of luck, fellow journeyer...

Thank you I felt it 😭😭 I was very frazzled. Weird night. Today was much better. I pulled myself out of bed and did the things and prayed a lot.

Good!

I tried to answer your questions last night to set you more at ease. I realize I didn't really answer one of them, as I am not much of a Q believer. You asked if Q was real. If he is, then I would say... who is the one person McMaster could not block or remove from access to Trump, was attached to the DOJ when he was saying trust Sessions, and is now the Under Secretary of Defense in charge of military intelligence. That would be my guess.

Wow thank you! I believe you're right. I have no idea who it would be but I know they're close to trump!

But again, thank you for the encouragement. You are amazing.
