I dunno, when it gets funny, you know you're gonna make it through another night. One of my few, but good gifts, used to be making suicidal people laugh. Ya gotta laugh, then you know you're gonna hold the trigger for another night, at least.
And on the practical side, thinking of the people that will have to deal with the mess gets you outside of yourself. Always a good thing in those situations. If nothing else, setting it up so that it upsets the fewest people, and causes the least work for them, makes it more complicated. Then you just get tired and think, "daym, this simple solution is getting way too complicated. Think I need a nap." |
