I'm still feeling crappy, but I've decided to think of more positive things to protect myself from an onslaught of whinyness.

It's cold. It's raining outside. I'm sick. It's Monday. Our pet's heads are falling off!! One might begin to wonder how anyone could be in a good mood under these circumstances. It may surprise you to find out that I've got a remedy for this day. It may not work for you since you aren't me though, but I'll share mine with you.

* Step 1 - Coffee

Now if I were at home this step would be pretty easy. I'm not at home though. I'm at the hobby store. The hobby store coffee is super double nasty. There's no cream or sugar to put in it and it's a physical impossibility for me to consume this tripe plain.

Solution = Chocolate Mints! Toss about 8 or 9 of those little puppies in there and you've hit gold!!

* Step 2 - Recall high-point of the weekend.

This step was also not easy because I had a great weekend. We hosted soirees and partied like it was 2007. We went to hear live music provided by angsty teenagers. We went out to eat and our food was paid for. We even got to hang out with lots of friends. Overall, it was an excellent couple of days. Thinking back though, only one event stands out that truly brings a snicker to my belly and a schoolboy grin to my face.
