pity and hot tea

Today is pity party day at my house. I'm a little under the weather, a cold of sorts, and feeling just a bit left out. I had a hair appointment this morning, and I slept during much of it! Now I'm studying and drinking hot tea, and no doubt my mental outlook will be much improved tomorrow. Meanwhile, at least by now I know that feeling sorry for myself is pure self indulgence, and if I choose to partake anyway, then I do so at my own detriment. Regardless, I think a short period of self pity will not do a great deal of harm if I'm careful not to share it with others.
