Hey, whatever works!

I don't have a mantra, I admit. I don't get despondent or upset about it anymore, thankfully, but I tend to get really irritated after the 3rd or 4th trip to the toilet, and that's when I start swearing. LOL!

Seriously, though, what helps me get through it the best is distraction. My cat Phoebe, the little weirdo, refuses to let me go in the bathroom by myself. EVER. So I'll be sitting on the pot, and Phoebe sits at my feet, looks up, and meows. And I meow back. And she meows again, and so on, each meow getting more and more weird-sounding (goodness only knows what she's trying to tell me, haha). Inevitably she makes some sort of non-feline squawking noise and I crack up. And thus we get back to laughter being the best medicine.
