Take note in the article that it was the reason the big, tall chain link fence was built at this school. (the one DeVos was thinking of)

However, there may be a higher probability of these predators posing a problem.

The sooner the federal department of education is eliminated, the better. Most education policy is (and should be) local.

Some type of stress is causing a sleep problem, and the actual stressor will not change anytime soon.

I had a similar version of this when I had a manager who was breaking rules left and right, not happy with me for disagreeing, and it became a hostile work environment for about 2 years. I didn't sleep well. I woke up sick almost every work day (that she also worked), and I would start my shift feeling sick. It was physically wiping me out.

What kind of advice did I get? Transfer stores. really? I had worked there over 15 years. I could walk to work. I should change stores, start over with a whole new crew, AND have to pay to and waste time taking the bus to work? I am stubborn. I was there first. I have seen people come. And I have seen people go. I decided I would outlast her.

In the meantime, I needed a strategy to stop being sick, and to not go crazy. I decided to go with the concept of going to my happy place, only I took my happy place to work. My cats bring my joy, so I practiced at home, having my cat sit on my shoulder and memorizing that feeling. Pretty soon, at work, I could feel him sitting on my shoulder. And I felt better. I also took some photos with me that I could look at and relax. I also played happy music on my way to work. For example, Shania Twain's "Up" was a good one for me.

One day., I got a really good laugh as I realized that this is basically the concept in Harry Potter with the dementors. You fight them off by thinking of a really happy thought, and it pushes them away. My boss is a dementor! LOL.

Strangely, after about 2 years, we finally got along. She realized I didn't want her job, nor was I trying to get her fired. I just wanted her to follow the important rules that dealt with food safety and also to treat employees right. It got better, and years later, we both still work together, and we are good friends. Go figure.

Hopefully, this will help a bit. You can't change what is stressing you, but you can change how it affects you sleep. It could be a bad boss, financial problems, an illness like cancer, a pending divorce, or even a president that you don't like. The solution is basically the same. Focus on a way to push it away, quiet it, not focus on it ALL the time. You can't turn it completely off, but you can limit it. Take control over how you feel.

...

are you suggesting BB to hire Trump , take her happy cats to the white house, let him realize that she "does not want his job, nor trying to fire him, just wanting him to follow important rules" and in a year become good friends ???

That is a lot to ask.

Thanks for your good suggestions (and for NOT telling me that my anxiety is self-induced).

Wow...he's pretty impressive in a perverted sort of way. I have never seen anything like him in my little garden...

I do a straw bale garden for my tomatoes and the old straw bales go into an elevated sort of enclosure for potatoes and onions and squash. Been doing straw bales for 4 years now and the old straw has made some awesome dirt for potatoes and super easy to harvest the potatoes in the old straw.
It's time now to start getting the new straw bales prepared as it takes about 6 weeks...so this coming weekend I will be getting more bales.

I voted for Hillary mainly because I did not want to see that pig Trump in our White House.

Haven't missed a minute of sleep.

Get over yourself. It's not your burden to bear.
