After a bad day, or even better, during one, I have a list of things that pull me out of the doldrums:
Go for a walk around the (office, complex, building, cell-block, whatever)
Strike up a conversation with a stranger. This can be sometimes weird so always have a quick exit strategy (oops gotta go, my medication is wearing off)
Go for a drive, take a long lunch, might as well stay for happy hour.
Exercise. Remember the Canadian Air Force isometrics ? (Could have unintended consequences in an office environment.)
Meditate (OK sometimes this turns into a short nap)
See how long it takes to get a five year old to laugh (often measured in microseconds). Actually, just being around a five year old will elevate your spirit.

We are very lucky to have our daughter and five year old granddaughter living with us. She really lights up our lives.

TGIF!!!!!!
I know that it is St. Paddy's day and that yesterday Lainey stated that she was going to shopping for shoes to make her self feel better. But I am confused about the "TGIF" instructions found in shoes made in Poland?

It's now official - I am having a bad day. I just dropped a full sheet of 3/4 inch plywood on my foot edgewise and my big toe is now swollen to about the size of a plum and probably broken. Driving to the airport to pick Martha up this afternoon is going to be so much fun. 
I guess I'd better practice my Festus impression... Mr. Dillon! Mr. Dillon!
Lainey, I'll trade you my toe for your colonoscopy.
