Had A Bad Day?

Then you're not alone.
I found this article from Byrdie about what to do on a frustrating day like this, and some of the article's techniques actually worked for me. And trust me, it's not a clickbait piece, it's a real article.

Friendship Diary - I Feel Sick

- Guys, I feel so dizzy and sick. And my throat feels like someone forced me to swallow sandpaper.
- TIN TIN: Oh, poor baby.
- LADY PENELOPE: I understand too - my little one's so sick.
- ALAN: Look at her eyes - they're so tired they could clap shut in seconds.
- Well, guys, I had this weird dream last night. I was looking at a dictionary of weird words, then Luke, Resus and Cleo came along and warned me about the future of kids' TV - it will fall to ruins if they don't get the help they need. And they only died about four months ago.
- ALAN: We miss them so much, too. In fact it's been years since us puppet Tracys were really off the air, so love is all you need right now.
- TIN TIN: You read that Tired Ninja book, hmmm?
- Yeah.
- TIN TIN: Well, he said what you need is plenty of rest, to eat healthy, to dump all those little ideas of your's into a sparkly little journal, and to spend few minutes before bed brushing your teeth, dumping your ideas into a journal or to do list, and little light reads.
- Mmmmmm. Little light reads.
- ALAN: Aaaaawww. Look, she's falling asleep already. Her eyes and legs are so tired.
- TIN TIN: That's what connects our bodies all together, Alan.
- BRAINS: Did I...er...miss something?
- ALAN: Feel free to join the cuddle too.

Friend Of The Day: Brum

Feeling better takes time and effort - or at least, that's what some people think. Not when he's around.
When you see Brum as depicted in the '90s, he's the sort of guy you would like to air on your telly when you feel sick. His delusionally childish nature and curiosity makes him a geezer in a 3 year old's body, which makes him a good friend to have around when you're tired. His jokes, songs and stories will entertain you and make you happy in no time.

Friend Of The Day: Yung Star

Sure, donating and throwing away may be as boring as ever, but who needs to tidy things when you have this ugly chap to help you? This is Yung Star, the son of the creepy hagface known as Zelda. Think of him as someone who'll be your right hand man.
