The mad meteorologists are predicting a much warmer day tomorrow (Monday): 68 for a high, 54 for a low. Tuesday will bring another skid into the 30s, but the remainder of the week looks reasonably liveable, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s and 40s. Not so bad overall...a moderate climate for the time-being.
I've decided I need to take mood-altering drugs and I'm looking for recommendations. I have been, of late, far too high-strung and too prone to explosive overreactions to things that, in the overall scheme of the universe, are utterly unimportant. Knowing full-well that the admonitions to "chill" or "don't let it bother you" or "it's not the end of the world" or "you're overreacting" don't have any merit in my own tiny little mind, I'm looking for practical advice.
What will keep me more mellow: 1) a swift slap to the head with a cast-iron skillet; 2) a stern admonition to "grow up;" 3) a dose of morphine; 4) a couple of triple shots of tequila; 5) a friendly reminder that I'm nothing special and should expect the same; or 6) a treatise from my long-dead mother, telling me to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you?"
I need something. I have been an asshole tonight. I deserve the cast-iron skillet and, perhaps, a bullet to the temple. I really do want to chill. But I'm heading in the opposite direction.
