Maybe wherever it goes, it will find mine. It’s not really lost, it’s simply misplaced.

Fortunately, I have the continued support of my husband.
Here's an example. Whenever I exclaim that I'm losing my mind and that something is driving me crazy, he will respond by saying "it's a short drive".
That just always makes me perk right up.

If hubby says something’s driving him crazy I reply, ‘you're already there. It means we're normal.
Among other things, impotent anger is one tactic cultivated by this keptocracy. And no one is doing a thing about it.
