6. I don't know if the politics are causing my mood, or not

I'm not depressed, not anxious, not unhappy. I'm stuck in a rut but that's been that way for decades. But I feel like there's no forward. Maybe it's because the long political fight is over for now? I dunno. Empty, no path. I can't find anything to buy, can't find what I'm looking for, food is healthy, good, but not enthusiastic about it. It's tax time. I'm embracing that, and also reading for the first time in a while. Maybe it's the cold and snow and winter. I'm motivated to keep pushing, but what's next? You know what I mean?
