Assigning it a number helps me to cope.

On a scale of 1 to 10

1 = shit
10 = great

Any normal day starts at a 5, and is modified by a number of factors.

• Hangover: -2
• Sniffle sick: -2
• Have to go to work: -4
• Puke up a lung sick: -6
• Missing organs: -10

• Fun plans: +2
• No immediate cause to change out of pajamas: +4
• Best night's sleep that you've had in months: +6
  
• Waking up in a tent, outdoors, to the sound and smell of a crackling breakfast fire: +8

On this scale, I have a +2(fun plans), -2(sniffle sick), -4(had to go to work) day. This means that I am at a 1. That feels about right. At least I am above 0, I guess.

Hopefully tomorrow will at least approach 5. I wonder what my days even out to, on this scale. My weekdays are all usually below 5, but my weekends are usually well above, some
