Yes! Level 61! And it’s been an arduous summer watching our news cycle. I am on tenterhooks often and then conversely completely zoned out and focused on my own projects while Nero fiddles and Rome burns. Grrrr
We will survive this, like most infections, and continue wiser and stronger.
Agreed. And imagine how it sounds when you’re at Level 74, waiting for you busted hip to heal…
74 is an impressive level. Best wishes on a swift healing.
