I use a clock. I watch it and tell myself it will be over in an hour. Then I congratulate myself for making it through the 1st minute. Then the 2nd minute. Then Ive made 5 minutes. Ive already packed my face in frozen dishcloths, grabbed something ice cold to drink (crushed ice and grape juice is my favorite). Then its been 10 minutes. Ok, this trash has cost me 10 minutes of pure hell but that just means Ive got 10 minutes of good times out there on the horizon someplace. Now its 15 minutes. Did that last wave hurt a bit more or a bit less? I can waste 2 or three minutes figuring that one out. Now its 20 minutes. Hot damn! Ive made it this far, I can go further. 22 minutes have passed. the ice is no longer cold enough so stumble into the kitchen for a fresh frozen cloth. 29 minutes down. Can't even remember the 1st minute. Can look forward to that half hour of good times I am due in the near future...34 minutes gone. Haven't managed to wake anyone else up yet. Good job! 37 minutes gone. This shit owes me good times ahead. etc
