For the rest of the day you are trying to rebound, and find that moment that "clicks" and gets you back on track.

So as you are heading to the checkout line, your boss texts you and says "You aren't needed at work today." So you mane a B-line to the liquor department and decide to celebrate your "day off" with a cocktail, or maybe a totally different type of breakfast.
