a bad day

Yesterday I had a bad day at work (can we say interpersonal problems? Not with someone in my organization, but someone outside of it, which can be worse). I came home in a bummed out mood but the day was saved though strategic interventions!

First, DDPP! Dance Party always makes me feel better plus I'm one of those people who releases stress through bodily movement. You should have seen me Wednesday at the gym, annoyed from work and then a CNN interview was on about the Smithsonian censoring art. That made me angry even more and you could tell - my strides per minute went up by 20 or so!

After DDPP, I came home and Andrew made me some hot cocoa - with marshmallows, woot.


Even better - it was in my favorite coffee mug...


Star Wars! Princess Leia would know what to do with conflict-causers at work.

I was so hungry after DDPP that I cooked up some sweet potato fries.



So good! I forgot to flip them halfway through so only one side of the wedge got crispy, but it still tasted good.

Bad day saved by dancing, hot cocoa made by a fine gentleman, and yummy sweet potato fries.
