Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

the five members onboard my little ship of fools suffered the loss of mommy/daddy, dil/son shortly before corona crowned. the mandated isolation was devastating. boo hoo. poor little us. ^it^ weren't corona, so ^it^ didn't count. suck ^it^ up, patriot. the justing is not going well for us. just mask it all.

anyhoo. . .
thank you for the sort space.
