Rules for Today

1. If the door doesn't open when you push on it, don't push again. It may just be locked.

2. If you have tripped over something more than once in one day, move the item, or walk a different way.

3. If something tastes bad or is making you feel bad, stop eating it.

4. Eat chocolate at least once a day.

5. If your cat is staring at you, there's probably a reason. Research.

6. Don't worry about it too much, you probably DID lock the door, turn off the burner, or put the ice cream back in the freezer. After all, how many times have you caught yourself forgetting?

7. You don't really need to watch the News every day. If something big happens, they'll catch you up on it tomorrow.

7a. Unless you are in an area that gets severe weather, or you saw lots of news vans down the street from your apartment...

8. If you have bad feet, don't wear flip-flops under any circumstances. Really.

9. Breathe. More. Deeply.

10. Sometimes it's better to be late than to bounce a check.
