things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i've been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week

Feeling really tired after having my parents stay for a few days and then going to a concert. I am only able to tolerate like 1 or 2 max extra things in a week so I'm struggling to finish this one out. Also struggling with guilt over distancing myself from an Israeli friend a little while ago (unrelated to the recent conflict there- I just felt drained by our communications). I checked in to see if she's okay but I don't really want to get back in touch. I feel like a shit person.

My folks fled Ukraine in May to stay with us. They decided to go back to Kiev and got there 2 weeks ago. Them staying with us was def. a stress test and I can't say my wife and I passed the test every day.

It's hard.

Oh man I bet you have mixed feelings about them leaving - I hope they stay safe!
