Jul 2022

but I probably should be. These last 6 years have been devastating to my mental health. Anxiety is through the roof. I'm about to head out on vacation for a week in the Texas hill country in the middle of nowhere. I can just try and zone out for a week. Sometimes it helps, although there's a different type of anxiety. The vacation is spent with my wife's parents, her aunt, and her 3 sisters and their families!!!

But, I can at least shut myself away in our room for several hours at a time!
