Some mistakes were made last night. What was supposed to be an innocent and wholesome family get-together turned into one of those nights when you consider ordering a second wine delivery to the house. Two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, a sweet, raspberry-colored rose, and a bottle of Gruner Vetliner later, let’s just say that work has been a bit…challenging. I am happy to have my parents to blame for this hangover, but not so happy that it’s making even the smallest task seem gargantuan.

Whenever my brain isn’t operating at its best, I find it helpful to take mental breaks between my newly difficult duties. Sometimes, after just two glasses of wine, a walk around the block or a coffee outside will revitalize my weary, war-torn brain cells. But more often than not the indulgence goes farther, and the brain’s ability to bounce back is less than impressive. That’s when we call in the memes. Most memes don’t require a lot of thinking. And they are funny enough to distract from any hangxiety or anxiety that one may feel. This makes them the perfect form of healing entertainment for when you’re feeling stupid.
