. . . and you’d have to be living in a mole hole to avoid it . . .

There are some things you can do to elevate your mood — or at least your level of tolerance.

No, I do not recommend getting falling-down-making-a-total-ass-of-yourself drunk. The hangover isn’t worth it, the booze is expensive, and who knows what kind of trouble you’ll get into while your brain is somewhere else.

But you might . . .

Oh, now, that looks heavenly. It only lasts an hour, and it’s not cheap, but oh! What an hour that is!

Of course, there’s always . . .

The primal scream. It works best under a couple of pillows, where no one else has to be subjected to your attempt at reaching high-C. But the bathtub works well too.

And I’ve always found refuge in . . .

The “shop-‘til-you-drop” method of mood enhancement. It usually lifts my spirits . . . until the credit card bill arrives.

My choice today, however, is the one that’s always worked best for me when I’m unhappy, upset, bored, frustrated, or lonely. It’s not expensive, and we’re really in luck today because it is both . . .

National Lasagna Day, and

National Chicken Wing Day!

And I see no reason why you can’t have both at one meal, and more. Would you like fries with that?

Now, if you’re thinking that just one day of gluttony isn’t enough to relieve you of the weight of the world on your shoulders, your luck is holding. Because tomorrow, July 30th, is also National Cheesecake Day. Dessert!

So take your pick of therapies, and if you’re so inclined, meet me in the kitchen. Who cares about calories if the world is about to blow up anyway?

Just sayin’ . . .
