Does anyone else feel we've fallen into a "lull" period--where the world is still pretty terrible, but plenty of personal routines are now normalizing after coming out of more intense phases of pandemic?
Tons of friends are consumed with work & community functions as if we were back in 2019. It's interesting, because we still have a heck of a struggle ahead, but after having had *time* to reflect on that struggle, the cadence of everyday living has reasserted itself. Are we less ready to act?
@MLClark We absolutely need a recovery period if we are to be ready for the next push. Our collective brains are useless while carrying constant allostatic load. So this lull is necessary.

that's why i'm spending my days tending my garden.
planted more native species yesterday, with help. today my back needs the bed of nails treatment.
@holon42 Me too. I’m really focusing on tending to the gardens. The heat finally broke here, which makes me very happy.
yes, it's cooler here today too👍🏼 but we need rain🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@holon42 Same. There are spotty storms but so far, nothing here. I’m watering veggies twice a day because they are full sun. Flowers and plants are once a day because they are more shaded and are retaining more water in the soil.

i've been running the sprinklers in the evening so that plants have more time to absorb overnight.
