@jason bah those are the worst :( (your not talking about music right? is deep funk a genre???) I find doing something for myself to sometimes pull me out of feeling down :) maybe go out for a small treat? ice cream?? with god awful amounts of sprinkles ofc. I like my treats gawdy.
Anyway, random internet man here to let you know I think you are pretty awesome ;P it was fun as hell to see your bookstore journey while I was cooped up at work last week.
