Fix A Flat – Fix A Mood Beer

For Temporary Use Only

I was working with my new therapist a few weeks back when we both made jokes about fix-a-flat. The end joke was the cartoon above on how to fix-a-mood!

While many people often use alcohol and/or other illegal mood-altering drugs to self-medicate, I want to make it CLEAR that I “personally” don’t condone this type of  temporary solution. Now, I’m not a prude who says to NEVER self-medicate, since I’ve done it myself in the past and it may seem like an “easy” solution, but it really doesn’t solve anything and can make more problems in the long haul!

Duck: Wow, Tommy you survived another year!  Do you want me to get the Farms Meds?

This is a continuation of my last post.  You may want to read Guppy Goop Died [Part 1] first.  But to summarize, my 7 year old’s pet died and we froze it in the freezer till we /she could take a photo of it and mourn her pet in her own way.

Dr. Harold Cohen, Ph.D. says in his article Children and the Death of a Pet.

“There is no best way for children to mourn their pets. They need to be given time to remember their pets. It helps to talk about the pet with friends and family. Mourning a pet has to be done in a child’s own way. After a pet has died, children may want to bury the pet, make a memorial, or have a ceremony.”

This brings me to today’s post… let’s see we left off in the last post… I was able to find my digital and I wanted to share with you 3 photos that almost made me cry!!  Without any help from me or Mom, my big girl took photos and said good bye to her favorite Goldfish, Guppy Goop, in a ceremony fit for a king.
