Ha haaaa! Mimi I totally needed that comic relief this afternoon! It's funny, the few times I have cried quite loudly in my house (only when nobody else is home, of course), my cat gets really nervous, paces around and meows loudly. I can also tell when I have complained too much in one day and need to get out and do something, because my (awesome, super patient) friends will tune out or change the subject. smile

To MNS . . . if you find that you are thinking gloom and doom thoughts, STOP. A little tip, though. Don't try to stop thinking about what you are thinking about. That doesn't work. (What if I told you right now not to think about elephants? What did you just think of? smile ) Instead, think of something else. It might help you to literally have a list on a piece of paper of things to think about. Surely you can come up with a dozen things to think about that are better than thinking about gloom and doom, but if not, just add some random things. Like a three toed sloth. wink
