I understand the sentiment but NYTimes cooking and games are both to be avoided due to the strike!

Can third the Anatomy of Lies recommendation. A wild, wild ride. Scamanda on steroids!

Listening to old podcast episodes! The familiar grooves and chuckles are such a reprieve from new and potentially anxiety provoking information. Many recommendations from this feed: past episodes from this season of Love is Blind, the one about Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. So many treasures! There's always Maintenance Phase, old This American Life Episodes, this specific episode of Modern Love the podcast that I have listened to maybe 15 times [if this is not in support of the tech union strike, maybe don't click on it] (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/style/modern-love-podcast-jake-gyllenhaal.html)

I will say that I deleted my social media from my phone about a week ago and told my immediate family to not engage me in discussion of politics this election night. Want to talk about Maricopa county? I'm not your person. That has been really good for my anxiety.

I did and donated what I could. The result will find me when and where it finds me. All I can do is I trust and pray and hope it will be a good one.
