Sounds a lot like my routine, Oona. I'm still working but it's work I love, with plants. Still stressed, though. I'm seeing people with masks on, indoors and out, every day. Wish I could just shrug my shoulders and laugh at them, but it hits me that these are the people who will greet the next atrocity with open arms. I need to move out of California and never look back.
Yes, you DEFINITELY need to leave CA ASAP. I do not know how people can actually live there. Drought, wildfire, pandemic, crime, taxes till you drop, earthquakes, and all made worse by 'the authorities'. When I moved to Florida, from NoVa it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. Just the atmosphere changed and I can't tell you how, but I feel it in my daily interactions.
Thank you, I do need that encouragement. We live in the most beautiful and most dysfunctional place on earth, a stunning valley hidden in the mountains with an Indian reservation making up a large part of the area. Seven tribes, many of them enemies, were forced to come here. The place is beautiful and historically drenched in blood. Fifty years of cannabis growing has suddenly ended for the vast majority of people here and we've been plunged into an economic hardship even beyond what the rest of the country is experiencing. My partner's been here 45 years, I've been here 29 years; it's a hard place to come to and a harder place to leave. We have Baja in our sights, but at 79 that man is hard to shift. He'll go for days without seeing anyone to do more than wave to, just communes with our garden, the animals and the birds. Lucky guy. I, on the other hand, have to deal with Mexican cartel guys and mask-wearing Trump haters who babble on about climate change. I can't wait to leave.
