Katie has the week off recovering from the flu. Let's all wish her the best. So I am doing this act alone today. After a brief roundup of the news, we'll talk about the many ways you're going to miss the Federal work force with a special emphasis on public health. A bit of discussion about the impending bird flu pandemic and shortages of food caused by the absence of migrant farm workers and USAID being hobbled. With the Federal government's response to be hobbled, what can you do? PREPARE! I'll share the ways you can prep for what is coming down the pike - food, meds, whatever - and most importantly, to start NOW. Then I'll take a look at Trump's executive order forming a task force on America's health and what bad things this means if you're on anti-depressants or anxiety medications and why your ADD/ADHD child is being regarded by this administration as a "National Security threat." So how do you sleep at night with all of this going on? I'll the discuss the various means and methods of getting a refreshing night's sleep which will veer into a frankly, and admittedly, weird discussion on ASMR (getting the "tingles") and how it can help you get to sleep. Yes, with examples. OK, I know, it's weird but it works.
