I find that watching bizarre '70s Sesame Street clips really helps lift my spirits.
This one was a favorite in our house. My mom still, to this day, walks around singing this song occasionally. Except I was a little disappointed to find that the lyrics have distorted somewhat throughout the years. My mom sings it, "Me and my llama / Dressed in striped pajamas / Goin' to the dentist today." I usually prefer misheard lyrics to actual ones, and this case is no different.
Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. I'm still here. Barely, but it counts.
you gotta ask yourself...who sat around and thought of a llama going to the dentist? and then who wrote the song?
somebody awesome, that's who.
hang in there. i don't have any great words of wisdom other than that. sometimes the enduring is the hardest part.

A little Sesame Street can definitely help.
I hope that everything is going better!

At first I didn't remember this one, but then after watching it-- I remember it now.
The one I find myself singing to this day is "The Word is No," "no, no, no, no, no."

Why no "The Word is Yes"?
