It really depends on how sad I really am, if it is a mild sadness, just the usual down in the dumps feeling we all get from time to time a bit of retail therapy can help, just depends sometimes it can make me feel worse seeing all the nice things I really cannot afford to buy and would like, but other times it does generally pick me up, I also get into the cleaning mode, that helps a bit, or come online.,but mostly I just love to cuddle my kitties, they are always there for me, and give me unconditional love.
