As you can see, I have a lot of catching up to do. Burn out is real. Second hand trauma is real. Mental exhaustion is real. Most people don't talk about it, but it's still real. Living in isolation magnifies these feelings. While I wish had a fully functioning blog, for the months I left blank I wasn't fully functioning myself--at least not enough to make a blog post a priority. As I sift through the memories and pictures, I'll try to upload as I go, but I am swimming in them. So if the blank spaces remain, may they serve as place holders for a time when I just could not.
