On the Worst Day

We all have them – the day you wake up with a pit in your stomach and gloom in your heart. And we each have our own way of coping with those days . . . .

the quad espresso
the exercise binge
your favorite music
the Birkin bag 😉
the shopping blow-out
a 10 km run
headphones!
craft therapy
Skype chats

For me, it’s I Can Haz Cheezburger. No matter how blue the funk, someone has taken a goofy photo and put a caption on it that will make me laugh out loud – and you know how the blues hate laugher! The just run away!

  1. Oh, those days are awful. I love the I CAN solution 😀

    On days that I 1) drop things 2) forget things 3) am running behind 4) feel that nothing is getting done and 5) wonder if my brain has slowed and 6) notice that my skirt/top is stained and my shoes are scuffed plus 7) I don’t have change for a taxi

    I try to tell myself: expect nothing from this day. With no expectations, any accomplishments (load of laundry, shortened email inbox) are a bonus.

    But sometimes the best thing about those days is the fact that they END 🙂

  8. I can use a quad espresso just now, not because I am feeling down, just to kick start my day 🙂

  9. I thought of you when I wrote the quad expresso, Don Veto! A quad espresso would send me pinging off the walls for a couple days!
