I Need To Whine
Yesterday, through no fault of my own, I couldn't get into my game as early as I wished to. My email server is totally making my life miserable. I spent way too much time trying to cull the emails I h...

I'm so sorry you're having an awful day. Nothing wears on the nerves more than having problems with a computer and nothing you do helps. Today I'm doing a bit of fancy footwork hoping to dodge the latest Windows10 update. The last one had me cussing like a dock worker for two days until I was able to fix our four laptops and four desktops so I totally understand your frustrations.
Watching the news is tricky these days. The amount of misinformation out there, combined with the fact no one seems to know what to do about the economy tanking, has everyone on edge. We need our distractions more than ever right now. We don't need roadblocks keeping us from enjoying the things that make us happy and soothes our nerves. Thankfully, I am basically an introvert, but even I am feeling the effects of this stay at home order, and the need to practice social distancing. I miss my family. Nothing replaces the feeling of hugging a grandchild or your own kids even though they're all grown up. It has been very difficult for me in that respect.
But this could be much worse than it is. At least that's what everyone is saying. LOL But the sooner this is all over with, the better I'll feel. We can't help but feel isolated and alone because we are social creatures. We weren't built to be confined and cut off from our respective herds. So there are a lot of adjustments to be made as we learn how to cope with this new normal way of life. This has made me realize how much I cherish my family and friends. I miss going out to dinner at our favorite place, having a fun day with my two besties, going shopping in a store where no one has to wear a mask or stand six feet away from me. And I will never take all of that for granted again.
I truly hope you find a way to get back to our favorite distraction soon, GalacticGal. I enjoy reading all your stories about your Super Star Sim. The two of you have had many ups and downs, and I can't wait to hear what happens next. :D
