You are very welcome Sabrina. Getting a decent night sleep is crucial.

I recommend taking breaks whenever you feel you need to. Last night Ann and I both had nightmares of being overwhelmed. As a Freudian, I believe dreams often send us messages and in this case I think our unconscious minds were saying slow down. At least last night I wasn't up between midnight when I was wide awake and got up, and then was awake until 3AM writing a Substack to get my ideas down. That happened twice last week.

I recommend doing all the thing you like to do which don't involve politics, only doing more of them. We're lucky enough to have an indoor pool where we live and play pool volleyball three times a week and for that hour Trump never enters our minds. Then a group of us sits in the hot tub and we end up talking about politics. Oh well... Ann's 12 yr. old granddaughter plays soccer and basketball and we go to her games and cheer our heads off. This is another release.

It think our emotional survival is all about achieving balance.

I still feel compelled to try to find something I think is original to write every day as do other Substackers, but I am not sure that is healthy for me.

Thanks for another excellent analysis. I think I need a news break, it's affecting my sleep.
