Disappointment

 Herself speaks.

The Project that I undertake periodically -- one that is close to my heart, a labor of love -- has been a Disappointment this year. There are a number of factors involved, and it's not easy to explain. Although I usually find the Project reinvigorating, is just making me tired right now. I have tried my hardest. That is all I can do.

I am really tired of Being Tired. The past two years have been so Hard. 

It will get better, someday. I just wish I knew when, and how.

At least at this point in time, there is new Orville Peck to sustain me. Today's earworm: Let Me Drown.  

The way he moves, the fringe of his mask, and his voice: so soothing. Thank you, Orville.
