No internet since last night. Oddly unsettling.

No longer watching the news. It gets to the point where you have done the little you could (donating, praying, hoping) and the tales of rapes, ineptitude, disregard for life and everything else that is going on gets to be too much even for somebody like me. I've stopped trying to discuss the political aspects of this because - frankly? Not my country and at this low point I'm not going to pour salt on open wounds. So, I'll go on hoping and praying that somehow it will get better.

Yes, I'll do it, but don't expect much, love.
