    Hey B.T.,

    Just remember.....most days for you aren't like that.......your having a bad hair day.I get them all the time and today is pretty close. It's been kinda shitty weather around here.....don't know about you......but that can make you feel a bit gloomy.

    I read a small bit in the "Men from Mars/Women from Venus" book, that said men go into a shell sometimes, get quiet, and nothing is really wrong. Don't know how true it is but I can believe it.

    Have a TAAAAAAAALL glass of wine this evening.....that will make your face shine.

    Things will be better tomarrow.....you'll see.

    Ya know I've been sitting here trying to remember what I do when I'm having a down day...JEeezzzzz

    Guess I pretty much stay to myself. Which is easy for me since it's just hubby and I. Usually time takes care of whatever is ailing me at the moment. I also remember that this too shall pass. I know, might not be what you want to hear, but some days are just what they are. There are also times I don't try and figure anything out...being on the more neurotic side, it just makes matters worse. Then of course there are those times when I must get honest with myself over something and I procrastinate; and that doesn't help either.

    Sorry to cut this off so short, but hubby just came in from being out of town for a week.

    Love,

    granny

    There is a song that goes like this here: When you're down and out lift up your head and shout, it's going to be a great day.

    Here is what I say: When you're down and out lift out your head and shout, AWW SHIT!

    My mother told me to cheer up, things could be worse. I cheered up and things got worse.

    Hi Hoooo Silllver Awaaaaaaaaaaaaay

    Pistoff - I'm usually like that in summer. I think it's the sunshine. Gets me down.

    Valis - Actually that does make me feel better. After all last night would have been the School and Service Meeting (). I can't imagine doing all that nonsense again. Think Nina would go with me to a strip club? Hhhmmmmm, probably not. Thank you for your kind words O Beloved District Overbeer. I'll call you later tonight.

    Essie - Family can be so helpful can't they? I'm sorry to hear she's pulling on the guilt strings. That's the last thing you need.

    Jes - You were really up and I didn't want to bring you down. It's no big deal. Just that time of the month.

    Dawn, outnfree, Dottie and Nightwarrior - Yeah it sometimes just kinda comes up for whatever metaphysical reason. I hate it. Reminds me of the bad old days. Thanks for the kind words. I know I'm better than I used to be.

    Gumby - Actually the wine really sounds like a good idea. I guarantee you I would have a glass or three, but I'm at work right now. Bummer.

    Thanks Granny! Give your hubby a squeeze from all of us here.

    Sheila, you sound so much like Nina it's scary. (I mean that in a good way.)

    NNC What if I hate shopping? Sorry, just teasing.

    Thank you. I think it's like Gumby said, a bad hair day, or my biorthyms are off or I'm channeling a past life. Something like that. I'll be okay. Always am, I'm just a little down tonight is all.

    Thanks for listening. It helps.

    You bet buddy. I love your ideas (especially the recurring theme, although can't do much about it till Saturday). Thanks for thinking of me.

    Maybe it was just hormonal. Seems to happen once a month for some reason.

    I usually will call a close friend or pick up a book or work on a project. My beading projects help alot- very cathartic !!

    You know my number too !!!! Call any time- if nothing else you can laugh at my accent (even though I don't have one)

    I liked this one of Jayson's:

    Plan a family vacation somewhere.
