Here's the question of the day...
At least once per day she asks a variation of, "How are you doing today?" "How are you?" etc. These aren't generic small talk questions; she's doing a temperature check.

What's the best way(s) to respond while maintaining my AS-IF mentality? I don't want to give her the brush-off, but I don't want to seem down either. Thoughts?
