On March 2, Texas Independence Day, I wrote a post detailing my two week hiatus from social media (Facebook, email, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) and promised an update. Click Here to view it
I am still off all the social media apps except email which I found I cannot live without. It’s the main Master Gardener communication transport. I try to limit myself to checking 3 times a day but am not successful very often.
Since then I’ve started weaning off the news because all it does is upset me and there is nothing I can do about it.
I cancelled my Economist subscription and am subscribing to the local Dallas Morning News instead. I can’t do anything about what is happening in the Ukraine or Cambodia for that matter and on a day to day basis it does not affect me very much. However, the local news does affect me.
On top of that I don’t turn on the TV news and if Gwen turns it on I try to ignore it.
I am not any calmer yet but Gwen’s ongoing battle with broken kneecap and PSP has been very stressful lately.
