We all need to just chill now and then.

I'm over at Medium talking about the mighty cockroach and how we can learn survival skills from them. I found out a lot during my research and they're pretty freaking awesome bugs, you have to admit. ​https://link.medium.com/O5YzBSMTHeb ​

I'd like to blame the time change for my crappy mood because I'll get used to that eventually, but Crappy Mood started before that. Maybe it's the sensory overload and stress from working during a week of roof repair or the aggravation of dealing with a new phone. I had to got to Walmart to get it and Gaaaaaa! The clerk in electronics did his best but made the process way more complicated than it should have been. Maybe it's general burnout or maybe it's a bunch of minor annoyances that've ganged up and bitch-slapped my brain. Something's put me in a lousy mood but I'm doing my best to dig my way out. 

​Rockstarter tip:  Buy something you enjoy when you're down in the dumps. It doesn't have to be expensive and I especially recommend flowers and plants because Mother Nature is awesome at cheering us up.

I'm telling Santa to go home in the video but I guess the old guy needs some sunshine and salt air after a busy December. It's okay, dude, you can stick around.

Rockstarter tip: We all need a break after working really hard so grab down time when you can.
