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.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
