Diary 119

Wednesday, July 15th

Covid has definitely stressed quite a few people. One dear friend is in despair about her job situation, trying to work out what she can do. Another has been kicked out of his home, by a wife who can’t deal with his drinking.  I wonder if, under more usual circumstances, he’d have been able to behave more reasonably? Is this a time of bringing things to light, or the straw that broke the poor old camel’s back?

I think it may actually be both. This added stress (on top of that provided by a maniacal “president”) may well feel intolerable to many, to which my response might be — OK, good.  That’s useful information and a very good reason to try to change things.

Change is in the air. It’s time, people, it’s time.
