First step: Get your butt out of that bed! I know it's hard, but you CAN do it, even though you don't want to! Set your alarm to go off early so you don't waste any part of the day. Do not hit snooze!!!
Second step: Take a long shower, use your best stuff and smell really good! Don't forget to shave your legs...fix you hair.
Third step: Get dressed with your best underwear (no holes unless they're crotchless!) and clothes that make you feel GOOD.
Step four: Go do something that will make you laugh, even if you have to do it by yourself! None of these things will change your life, but you might feel better for a little while, which might lead to a little while longer once you're done.
I'll list several ideas:
Sneak into someone's yard and move the for sale sign into another yard.
Get in your car and turn up your favorite songs really loud and sing along at the top of your voice. Doesn't matter if anyone sees you--they're just jealous that you're such a fantastic singer.
Get your fingernails painted cherry red or hot pink, or funky blue-- a wild color or 2 or 3 you wouldn't usually consider.
Go to Wal-mart and sneak up behind someone and drop an item into their cart without him noticing. Could be really fun if you drop off several boxes of Preparation H! Follow him around discreetly so you get to see what happens when he finds it...even better if it's not until he's checking out!
Get a new hair cut or color or both.
Buy some new shoes! Too expensive? Buy new lipstick!
Eat dessert at a fancy schmancy place. Leave a huge tip and make them wonder...
Kick everybody else out of the house for the day and read a good smut novel and eat bon-bons.
My ex-T ordered me to do at least one thing a week just for me. It has helped me a great deal to feel less resentlful toward my husband for being gone all the time and from hardly ever getting a break from my kids.
I'l be waiting to hear what you did tomorrow! ;~}
