Today I’m back to Day 1 of my 21-day challenge to go complaint-free after all the complaining and whatnot yesterday.
I ran, found my inner Zen (I’m not sure what an outer Zen is, actually) and despite encountering multiple dogs off-leash I said nothing, continued on my way, had a good run, enjoyed the sun and ended the day feeling relaxed and rested.
Considering I woke up with a headache, this is even more impressive. The headache was remedied by both Advil and a bubble bath. It’s hard to feel negative when you are reclining in warm water and surrounded by pleasant-smelling bubbles.
I’m stocking up on bubble bath.
On to Day 2 (a Monday–dun dun dun!)
And a digression: Is my Bad Design category on this blog just another way to complain? Yes, it is! Will I be removing it? No, I won’t! But why? Am I making crazy and arbitrary exceptions? No. Instead, when I highlight something that I feel is a bad design, I’ll point out why and suggest ways in which it could be improved. My point in these posts was never to just rant about things, but to examine why certain design decisions end up being poor or sub-optimal and pointing out better ways. Also, I do point out good design, too, especially when it notably stands in contrasts to similar but poorer designs.
