My NaNo story for the day. It's shorter than the others, but today has been a bit of a rough day, and I wanted to at least get something written. I also wasn't sure how I was going to fill this prompt, so making this one shorter works that way too. I hope it still makes sense.

Weekend update

My weekend has involved rather a lot of old Bob Ross episodes. And along with wondering how Shiv would react to Bob Ross (or the Terramagne equivalent), I find myself wishing that Bob Ross could have taught something other than painting. He has such a calm, mellow voice, a subtle but interesting sense of humor and so much knowledge about painting. This makes him entertaining to watch, and probably a great resource for doing oil paint landscapes, but if could have thrown in some tips on coping techniques, or time management or how to plan weekly meals or something, I would find it 100 times more useful.

Other than using Bob Ross as a coping technique, does anyone one know of any resources that teach emotional skills, or generally how to be a functional adult? A friend mentioned considering a therapist, but I'm not sure that's what I need, or if I'm ready to take that step. And I learn by example infinitely better than I do by trial by fire where I have to figure it out on the fly, by myself.
