In which Elbie forces herself to take this particular icon to heart...
*stands up, takes deep breath, sighs, takes another deep breath...*
I will not talk about, expound on, or react to the negative things that happened today until I have had a big meal, a glass of wine, and a good night's sleep. And even then, I reserve the right to shrug it off and move on.
Because as much as I know that I am mature and smart and creative enough to laugh off the little things, learn from mistakes, and move on... There is a part of me that wants to dwell and feel bad and feel that the whole damn universe is against me. And as hungry and tired as I am today, that Debbie Downer part of me is quite dominant.
So I worked out a deal: if I still feel bad about having a bad day after taking care of myself, than it's worth bitching about.
But I don't think so.

I got my certificate for making Dean's List for the spring semester. There's something positive.
