Anyone else noticing how slow the internet is today?

Each time I try and navigate I find I have about a three in five chance of getting the page to load. I just ran a complete scan of my system with no problems. Then try and get on the DU... Had to try several times.

but I am so very tired, physically and mentally.

I feel waves of exhaustion rolling over me. But I do not feel anxious about it, either, which is good.

Thinking a lot about what Rick had to say about today.

It's a beautiful day outside and the clouds are perfect! I went to the store and when I came back, the internet is being sluggish for me. Are there any solar flares or something like that? It took me forever just to get on the DU...

In Virgo, sign of systems, including computer systems.

But Mercury Retrograde probably isn't helping either.
