How I'm doing

I was asked privately, I thought I'd answer publicly.

Things are better than usual.  There's no immediate catastrophe, at least none that I know of.

The down side of that is that it makes the longer term things more visible.  Not having, "I need to use X money to avert Y catastrophe," means I ask, "How can I best put this money to use?" which leads to calculations, honest assessments, and a conclusion of, "Even though in the short term I'm ok, things are still pretty well fucked in the long term."

So it's like, "I'm good, really.  I'm good.  I'm doomed, but it's a way better doomed than I usually am."

And that's how I'm doing.
