Sleepless

I had a great day of virtual teaching and learning. I also continued my efforts to prepare good meals for my family and I took a great walk at the end of the day. It was a good day all in all, but there were a few errors that made me somewhat sleepless.

Error One: Reading About Today's Trump White House Briefing Rally-Mix
Trump stirs the pot every day with his heinous decrees, slanderous messages, lies, misinformation, ignorant rants, and self-serving political decisions. He is an oppressive President, one that distances us daily for the positive policies, endeavor, and people that will serve our country well. I can't believe we have left such a detrimental and dangerous leader in office. He does not represent the values I have spent my life working for--he is a dangerous man.

Conflict and Debate
I engaged in a couple of conversations that included conflict and debate--those are never good conversations in the evening when people are tired. Those are good conversations for early in the day when people are positive and energized.

Positive routines lead to a good night's rest. It's best to avoid Trump rallies of any kind as well as conflict and debate in the evening. Onward.
