Restitate

To relax with eyes closed while sitting in a meditating position.

I was too tired, anxious and wired to full-on meditate, so I decided to just close my eyes and restitate

respite care

Taking care of yourself is NOT a luxury, it is a necessity.

In 1985, I was so stressed out, I believed, you should NEVER use physical punishment, but I had spanked my child.
I confessed to my doctor and he referred me to an organization the could help.

In 1985, California's DCFS had a "Respite Program" & I was accepted.

The Rules for a Respite Program participant.

I was required to have a licensed/approved babysitter take care of all my children, only 2 for me.
I was required to have the sitter take over my responsibilities for 4 hours, once a week.

I was required to have the same exact day each week AND the same four hours each week.

I was required to agree that I would NOT do any chores or any errands DURING THAT 4 HOURS.
It was suggested that I start out the program, by spending r hours at the local park.
I MUST use those 4 hours ONLY to do "Fun" things.

Everyone's "Fun" activities are different, so 4 hours just enjoying a view (the park) will help you to discover OR Re-discover your "Fun" choices.

The program lasted 3 months with a possible 3 more months.
The program was " just what the doctor

Ordered", it worked wonders.

In 1991, I discovered an acquaintance that was in dire need of Respite Care.
She suffered from "Chronic Stress".

I provided her with the rules and volunteered to be her replacement.
She agreed, 4 months later, she was a totally different and much happier and healthier person and mother.

My 4 hours per week of "Respite Care" has greatly improved my quality of life.

resticate

to bind and expel somebody, especially a student for making mischief in the class. Not to be confused with 'rusticate'.

The student made so much of a ruckus in the class that the teacher resticated him.

Mexican respirator

Squat over someone's face. Lower your testicles into their eye sockets, and fart in their mouth

Everyone at the tortilla factory explosion couldn't Beleive their eyes when Pedro, dying of smoke inhalation, was given just enough air to fill his lungs and escape the blaze, thanks to Manuel's quick implementation of the Mexican respirator

Reparate

(1) to repair something neglected to its breaking point.

(2) to reparate- the act of submitting reparations to those who were immorally uncompensated for events that brought harm and hardship to the specific minority group.

Suppose we want to show that America’s system is genuinely apologetic for administering policies that have harmed Black Americans for generations. In that case, the U.S. government should make motions to reparate those who have been affected by systematic errors. With similarities to Native American Reparations given by the U.S. government.
