Annihilation of the Funk

For those of you slogging with me through the wasteland between winter and spring, these are my weapons of choice for the assault against the drudgery.
     Sight
Everything outside is ugly, so we mark our computer desktop with something beautiful.

And then we browse on Pinterest and look at gardening ideas.

     Smell
We continue burning the pine-scented candles that we bought at the after-Christmas sale to save for next holiday season.  It's okay, we can buy more next holiday season.
And then we browse on Pinterest and find ways to make good-smelly things.

     Sound
We keep youtubing The Gael, written by Dougie Maclean and featured in the Daniel Day-Lewis movie The Last of the Mohicans.

Or Victor de Andres' rock version of the same, with a little Pirates thrown in for good measure.

And then we browse Pinterest while the music soaks into us.
     Taste
The holidays are over so we're not supposed to eat anything yummy anymore, except we sneak many additives into the coffee that we're not supposed to be drinking either.
We sip it while we browse Pinterest for healthy recipes that taste good, as if such a thing existed.

     Touch
We wear lotion to hydrate our crackly winter knuckles, and we need to buy some from

And then we browse Pinterest for homemade lotion recipes and tutorials.

How do YOU do it?  What do YOU do to get rid of the funk of this non-season?  Spill to me your secrets.  Don't leave me in this alone!
