Yes! I need help conquering the chaos!
If there were a lifetime limit to the number of WTFs I could mutter, I would have used all of them up during this pandemic. “Mind-boggling” is the G-Rated adjective I now use when people ask me what I think of all of this. From our removal of the Pandemic Response Unit, to wasting time …
