Tomorrow and Saturday I'll be in sunny Camp Hill, Pa., for a conference, so I won't be blogging. Last week when I couldn't blog on Friday, I did a special Suicide Saturday (yay! whee!), but this week you might have to wait for Suicide Sunday (whoopee! yahoo!).

But in the meanwhile, there are two things you must do. First, you must watch this video. I watched this twice through (it's kind of long), and both times I almost peed in my pants from feelings of love and joy. Seriously, my chest was contracting as though I was having a panic attack, but I was actually so happy, I hyperventilated.

The other thing you must do is: Have a good couple of days. "Yeah," you'll say. "Sure." But I mean it. Eat something you love, even if it's fattening. Watch a TV show that's dumb but funny. Listen to music and spin around in your living room until you're dizzy. Shower your pets with kisses and petting. Call a friend you haven't talked to in a while but who makes you laugh. Go to a stupid movie and get popcorn and a sugary soda and let yourself sink into it. TAKE A WALK IN THE SUN.

Most important, make yourself laugh--and not sad-laugh--at least four times before Sunday, no matter what you have to do to make it happen. And when we meet again, we'll all have had a vacation from ourselves, and we won't be angry at each other for not being productive or for wasting time.

And if none of the above works, watch the Knut video again. I know I plan to.
