'23 - The Adventure Continues ;)

Amber:

As you well know, the big unweildy systems are pretty much all broken......
healthcare, Vet services, justice system, school systems, foster care, family systems, prison systems..... broken in two, with zero accountability which could only help from the top down.  I don't see it.... and if I do, the consequences fall ONLy on those who upset the people in charge and NOT those being "served" and failed by the system.

It's a hard pill to swallow and make peace with, IME.  Sometimes impossible.

Hol is almost OUT of her situation and I'm sad to report the malfunctioning tech device on her car works the same as those strapped to people.  False alarms, nobs in charge without accountability or the ability to understand exactly what's happenig with the failing technology....... and that's an extra layer of stress in a super stressful situation, esp when it costs $700.00 a month and maybe the people in charge are innapropriate and abusive, IME.

I'm sorry B is still being buffeted by the feds and insurance companies, but it's a big money making strategy, IMO, to thwart and otherwise beat down those seeking care they've paid for and deserve.  Churns the dollars.  Cuts down on expenses, sadly.  Same with the justice system where one might assume starving children and victims of domestic violence out in court wouldn't be considered a valid and super popular strategy, but IS.  And the Court officers largely don't bat an eye over it.  So jaded and bitter and without consequences....... children and vets won't ever be on the list of priorities as long as harming them makes money.  Same with the incarcerted and poor..... the ailing and sick.  Someone's making money and they don't want their rice bowls f'ed with.

It's going to take another generation, if it's going to change at all, IMO.

Sorry you're in a funk, my dear.  I hope the cooler temps are soothing your soul.

Hopalong:
Amber, hon, just sending:

massive salad chock full o' antifunkidants
apolitical and handsome masseur
weeding fairies
a day pass for two new adult children
a pain fairy for B
a responsibility fairy with a brain wand
 (*she's like Alexa: Just say something like "Alexa, twinkle my brain" and you get a break)

Less frivolously, I think you've been greatly affected by the daughter dynamics, and now an anger explosion from Hol and I wonder if you're more sensitive than you sometimes acknowledge.

It's rare for you to report funkitis, and in a backward way I was glad to hear it. Nobody can be hyperfunctional all the time, and burying oneself in responsibilities and projects nonstop is hard on the psyche, which might need to come up for a cry.

Hope this funk soon passes and meanwhile, you deserve gentle company and a peace. I hope it comes soon.

hugs and comfort,
Hops

sKePTiKal:
Working through it, Hops.
It's a new week.

Twoapenny:
Sorry you're all still jumping through hoops, Skep (I typed Hops then, lol).  It's endlessly frustrating when you know that whatever you do, someone else will bugger it up and you'll have to do it again.  Can only say that I'd bet B is finding it more tolerable to cope with as a couple than it was alone.  Other people are a distraction, at the very least.  Hope things calm a bit and this week starts to get a little bit easier xx

sKePTiKal:
Thanks much, Tupp. We're working on it.
There just seems to be some really bad juju running around in the air over here.
