AA Group: How are yall feeling? [View all]

I am somewhat numb after crying on and off this past week in private.

I am currently off of social media and don't listen to/watch the news.

I'm getting into my gardening, cooking and presently having a bit of cognac (going up...on a Wednesday) while barbecuing.

Reassessing I guess.

How are you guys?
