How to fix a crappy day.
Yesterday was just one of those days. My toddler didn't want to go to pre-school, was yelling in the car and traffic just plain sucked.
I exchanged a broken carpet steamer for a newer one that I had intended to put together the next day (today). But when I got home, the dog had thrown up on her bed and the carpet, so I spent the next couple hours putting the steamer to good use. (The dog bed was a complete loss!)
By then it was time to pick up my daughter from pre-school. More bad traffic on the way home and I was fighting a tremendous stress headache.
But what was that waiting for me at the front door?
My new SWK Blackwatch Standard!
Pretty good day after all...

Ah yes, nothing like a good tartan tonic for a great pick-me-up!

Nice. I'm hoping a new kilt belt, expected any day, now, will help the lousy week I'm having. A chance to wear it to the Capitol District Scottish Games on Saturday would help, too.
Congrats on the new kilt, man.

I have two new Utilikilts that just arrived but I'm ignoring them. Isn't that terrible of me? :rolleyes:
They were delivered yesterday and are waiting for me in the apartment complex office.
If I want them now I would have to drive home at lunch in pants, grab them, and then quickly drive back to work.
However, I will wait until Saturday morning and stroll in there wearing an Olive Green Utilikilt and get them then. I have enough kilts now so I'm not in a hurry. ![Smile](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
These two are a tan twill original and a tan cordoroy original.
Now all my kilts have arrived. I have 12 of them. That's all I will ever need in life. ![Smile](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I have originals in all three colors now:
tan - used for long walks at night and long drives in the sun (two of these)
black - used for Friday night shopping mall kilt walks
olive - used for Saturday afternoon shopping mall kilt walks
my Mockers are mostly used for church.
The tan cordoroy can be for long desert walks at night in the winter. :-)

Yes, I've also realised I seem to be less stressed on a kilted day.

There's nothing like a new kilt to relieve stress.
We need to report pbpersson to the SPCK, he's neglecting 2 kilts.

Funny you should mention that -
Last week my shipment from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society arrived, so I've got a grand, cask-strength single malt to toast the kilt with!
