Check in from time to time and let us know how you are. Enjoy lurking! I did that for a long time before I decided to "engage" a bit on DU.

But I get it that things going on 30 days before the election are toxic and can get you down.

Enjoy your break!

Yes, do what is best for you, lurk, and regroup, but know plenty of us will both miss you and want to welcome you back whenever you pop in.

For this political movement. So job #1 is for each of us to take care of ourselves. "Secure your own oxygen mask before helping others." So, take care of yourself, dear debm55. You are a treasure.
