       OK, it looks like some of you have already made the jump.  I am 
       still in the past for several hours for the time being.
       
       I will be making the jump at home alone again, like I did for xmas.  
       I have no problems with this and I would actually rather not be 
       around drunk people in the rain, like on xmas.  I enjoy my 
       solitude when I can.
       
       This is day 176of60 of The Occupation (OMFGWTF?!?!) [1][2]  I am 
       still surviving and have had to implement some boundaries for 
       myself for damage control (from myself and others.)  
       
       Counting the days have become a very useful tool again, like it did 
       back in the day, like it has and does for my fellows.  It keeps me 
       in the here and now and helps to keep it real.  It has also shown 
       how my resiliency can stretch, in spite of myself.  There is light 
       at the end of the tunnel, but that will be after the jump.  I will 
       still be leaving 2025 in Occupied Territory.
       
       Best wishes to all y'allz in gopherspace in 2026 ! ! !
