The decisions I've had to make for myself are in an attempt to stabilize and hold on to what feels like a modicum of "control"...it's truly a feeling of powerlessness (even on the individual level vs collective), and this year has made that more apparent than ever.
So, now what?

I've had all 4 email inboxes set to OOO since Tuesday, and I am not ready to resume 'business as usual.'
I'm also feeling a bit agitated (?) about December 1 being Monday... It's like I'm beyond ready for this year to be over, but I'm also not too optimistic about 2026. I've been so stuck!
