Day 74 of the war. I've discovered that not only am I a stress eater, but apparently a nervous drinker as well. Drinker of weak tea or water, that is. At some point I will have to supplement the 10/14 intermittent (over)eating regime with some sort of socializing activity. On the days I go to ESL meetings at the library I don't drink buckets and it's easier to stick to the 10/14 pattern. And face-to-face communication with 3D people provides some stress relief. Sadly, I don't know many forums where I would feel safe speaking freely against the war and voicing my concerns for the safety of Kharkiv, Kyiv, Poltava, Lozovaya, Rubezhny, Severodonetsk... And wherever I go, Kharkiv is always on my mind and on the tip of my tongue. I wonder if I subconsciously put food on my tongue to suppress my mind, as a sort of self-censorship. I hope my friend in Kyiv finds another place to stay. He's changed several locations over these past 11 weeks and finds himself homeless again, and there's nothing I can do to mitigate this horrendous injustice my country is doing to him and dozens of my other friends and millions of Ukrainians and billions of other people all over the world. The repercussions are so far and wide, it boggles the mind and what is being done to my friends us breaking my heart every second of this war.
