You know what? I am feeling a little blue today, not depressed really, just a little down. I get like this every once in a while and it's usually not over anything specific. I don't know why. 
Right now I am wadded up in a chair, wearing comfy clothes, drinking a beer, listening to Jeff Buckley sing “Hallelujah”, hiding from the world and trying not to cry. I may or may not have eaten half a carton of cherry vanilla ice cream earlier. I have also closed my email and turned off my phone. I just don’t want to deal with anything right now. Later I might put on some shoes and wander around the neighborhood in the dark looking at the stars. After that I may watch a sad movie before going to sleep. Needless to say I am wallowing in it and I know it. But tomorrow all this will have made me feel better somehow. It will be another day and I will need to work off that ice cream... that I may or may not have eaten.
So what do you do with a bad case of the blues? Do you paint kittens? Do you paint kittens and then return them to their rightful owners? Do you read old comic books? Do you watch sad movies? Do you sit in the tub with the dog and eat Cheetos? Do you sit in the dog with the Cheetos and eat the tub? Is there a special song you play? Do you drive around looking for people to race with? Do you beat up hobos at the train tracks?
Feel free to call all in. Our phone lines are open. Just stay away from my ice cream.

Lately I have been thinking of adopting a new strategy. The kalamata olives sound good.
