Trying to end a bad day on a good note.

[3CsMommy]

I don't know why, but today I've just felt like poo. Everything wrong with life seems to be on the forefront of my mind (lack of job, unsatisfying home life, taking care of a difficult child, bills and money problems, etc. etc.) and I can't get it out.

I've sequestered myself from the friends I live with so that I don't take my bad mood out on them, which would only make me feel worse.

I've talked to my boyfriend and said goodnight, but since he was tired and stressed as well there wasn't a lot of comfort in that.

The only friend I can think of to call and try to hash it out with is not good for this kind of conversation, and she's hard to catch on the phone anyway.

So, I'm out of ideas, but I've got to do something to snap myself out of this funk, that doesn't involve spending any money at all. (As it stands, I'm wondering how I'm going to buy hamster food next week.)

Any ideas? What do you do when you have a day just kick you right in the backside and laugh in your face about it?

I usually clean to get my mind off things and search you tube for funny stuff. Something else I do is vent my frustrations in notepad on the computer and then erase it. I wouldn't want someone reading my junk from being in a foul mood and taking it too seriously

I'm up late, you can call me anytime. Even now.

 

[Cinder and Me]

Yup, I clean, organized and/or go shopping. The past few summer-y dresses all came from not-so-good-days...

Cleaning is my "job". The short version of a really long story is I'm a live in house keeper for a friend after getting kicked out of my last place. Today was bathrooms day b/c apparently my usual schedule (doing bathrooms Tuesdays and taking care of my stuff and the animals on Monday) wasn't good enough. I just spent a good while on I Can Haz Cheeseburger, which helped some. I think a bath is next.

Thanks for the warm wishes and everything. It's a big help.

Sorry you're down. (((HUGS)))

I usually just stay away from people and shut the world out, just do things I enjoy or things to keep me busy. Not so long ago, I cleaned the chins cages twice in a week and rearranged their stuff in their closet. lol (In which I just redo today lol)

You said you like the search youtube for funny things so I thought I'd suggest...ThatOneKid100. Its a college student and sometimes his roommate. Some of their videos are immature and some are just plain stupid, but could help if you're looking for something funny. If you ever check out any of his video, let me know what you think.

The best thing you can do to feel better, first of all put on some red lip stick! It's my cure all. Then i watch Elvis movies! Yep The King's hip swivel always cheers me up. I recommend: Girl Happy, Live A Little, Love A Little, Tickle Me or Follow That Dream!

I like to watch videos of babies laughing - its impossible not to laugh when a baby is laughing

Baby laughs creep me out.

I like to snuggle my chinnies...they always make me smile.

I'm much better today, and I think part of it had to do with me not paying attention to my medication schedule. I got off track during my trip to North Carolina for the holidays, which is incidentally a big stressor right now anyway, and hadn't realized how much I'd missed. But I'm definitely keeping the red lipstick idea in mind for next time, though I think I'll leave the Elvis movies to my mother. (Her favorite is Blue Hawaii, judging by how many times she watched it when I was a kid.)

Thank you all so much for chiming in with ideas and sympathy. It was exactly what I needed. I owe all of you cookies.
