(A) Put on comfortable clothes and big, obnoxious fuzzy slippers
(B) Turn off all lights and light a candle
(C) Fling (and I do mean fling) yourself on the sofa in the most dramatic fashion possible (it might take a few flings to get this right, keep trying!)
(D) Put box of tissues on coffee table (get the good kind, with the lotion)
(E) Start crying. I don't mean a sniffle or two but let it rip
(F) Continue crying for 10-15 min. Be loud, let the snot fly, the mascara run.... if you are going to do this, do it right!
(G) Wipe nose/face, go to kitchen and have a glass of lemonade and two cookies. Crying is hard work and you will need a break and more energy!
(H) Walk back to couch like you are the saddest person alive.
(I) Fling body back on sofa (again, repeat if it is not dramatic enough)
