I can’t be the only one . . . 

I can’t be the only one . . . 

For many of us these days, healthful, mindful, proper mental hygiene habits have been jettisoned in favor of: 

  • nail biting
  • stress eating
  • Rally bus riding
  • Pussy hat wearing
  • Chardonnay drinking
  • Choir preaching
  • Charles and David Koch obsessing
  • Caffeine ingesting while composing post-card screeds to Republican members of congress

AND

  • Reading the most hair-raising, politically apocalyptic stuff, preferably when wrenched wide awake at two or three in the morning.
