Lately, all I've been watching are fables, fairytales and fiction.

Step into my messy movie room, grab yourself an afternoon quarantine beer, and settle in to watch a __ and you'll either have the pleasure of joining me for a simple, animated children's story or a futuristic fantasy. I do believe that I'm driving my boyfriend insane BUT it's all that I've been wanting to watch!

I guess I've been craving a bit of an escape from reality.

Could it be coronavirus? Could it be the conspiracy theories surrounding coronavirus?

Could it be the buzz around murder hornets? Could it be the supposed poisonous plans trespassing onto properties all around my home in Pittsburgh, PA? Could it be the polar vortex supposedly approaching mid-May?

Yes. The answer is *F) All of the above and then some.*

Whether you believe in none or all of these issues and/or the conspiracies circulating, it's extremely likely that all of the hysteria that's resulted is causing you some sort of discomfort.

There are a lot of stressors in our lives right now... so what do you say we take a little break from our reality?
