People are so stressed that

I was supposed to have dinner with a friend tonight but she thought she was getting a cold and now she wonders if she’s tired from too much exercise. I was supposed to go to a photo exhibit with a different friend tomorrow but she thinks she has a stomach thing.

I think they may be so stressed that they feel sick.

We will go to the photo exhibit next Sunday if there are no riots or martial law. 

I’m learning about family photography. My friends who got married and had me shoot it had a baby, as many people do. Their baby is vaccinated for everything by now and they’d like a family shoot so I’m watching an online class. This could be tons of fun with my friends with the 12 year old and the neighbors who have a new baby. We will see.

“The National Ballet of Ukraine wrapped up a tour of the U.S. this week — its first since the fall of the Soviet Union more than 30 years ago.”


As part of their campaign to join the EU Ukraine has been fighting corruption. The war makes it more urgent. They are now implementing payments to whistle blowers.
