They're Nuts in California

You know those days?

Yes. You do. Those days are the days when you should be so proud of yourself because you actually did so much... six hours of work, tons of errands, and an episode of Gilmore Girls to boot.

But instead, you're just annoyed. Maybe it's the 95 degree heat. Maybe it's the fact that you still haven't had time to go to the grocery store and had to eat pre-packaged cookie dough for dinner. Or maybe you just don't have a good reason and all and are just looking for a reason to justify your completely unjustify-able irritation. This irritation seems all the more irrational because of course you got a lot done, and you've got nothing but good things going for you in life.

And maybe, if you were me, you dealt with it by changing into a comfy t-shirt and re-read (for maybe the eightieth time) the fourth Harry Potter, because nothing is more comforting than imagining Voldemort rising from the dead and unleashing havoc on the innocents of the world.

And maybe, after that, and after eating another meal of cookie dough, you just let it go, just grateful that you can answer before the contestants on Jeopardy.
