And of course the longer I go without posting, the more there is to post, and the more overwhelming the task of catching up feels. But today seemed like the right time to post about a couple of specific things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Today my father would've been 77 years old. It's been over ten years since he was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/jed\/2006\/03\/07\/3428.html\">killed<\/a>.<\/li>\n  <li>Today is the 36th anniversary of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/jed\/2009\/05\/13\/12104.html\">my mother<\/a>'s death.<\/li>\n  <li>It's been just over a year since I started taking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/jed\/2016\/09\/18\/15373.html\">Lexapro<\/a>. I haven't yet missed a day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I suspect the Lexapro is why I've remained on a fairly even keel this week, despite the disappointing and distressing election results and the difficult anniversary. I seem to be doing okay so far today. Soon I need to head in to work, where I'm interviewing someone this afternoon (my 98th interview during the time I've been at this job). I think this evening will be focused on downtime, maybe working on photos and\/or reading. (Oh, and dealing with a WordPress problem for <cite>Jaggery<\/cite>.)<\/p>\n<p>Even in troubled times, self-care is important. I hope you're all holding up as well as you can under the circumstances.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For weeks, I&#8217;ve been meaning to post here, but I keep shying away, for reasons not entirely clear to me&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,29,118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-death","category-life-updates","category-parents-children"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15411\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
