I have spent the last week (my Spring Break) on hiatus from Dkos, all news (with a few exceptions of listening to NPR where I didn't learn or hear much I didn't already know), and reading fabulously escapist chick-lit which makes me happy for about an hour and then I'm back to being bummed. I needed a break. Badly. Actually, as I write this I still feel like I need a break. I'm not quite ready to come back even though I've been meaning to write three other diaries (one about my local State Rep., one about a lobby day event I went to in Springfield, IL 2 weeks ago, and another about my response to Crashing the Gate's section on abortion). I'm too tired (mentally) to write those at the moment. Every time I think about the things I have to say I just feel like vomiting.
So, why am I here? Because I'm disgustingly dedicated to taking action...even in my moments of gaping despair. So, please take action below and let's all feel better together because at least we're doing something to try and hold our Country up while it comes crashing down around us.
