The Mean Reds

Here’s a little preface...think Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard in Breakfast At Tiffany’s, and they are sipping champagne in the morning:
Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Paul Varjak: Sure.
Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away.

I was in a different state of mind last week and I didn’t quite know how to explain it. Now I do.
I had the mean reds last week...
The sad thing about it is ...the nearest Tiffany’s is on the other side of the Twin Cities and it is a Mini-Tiffany’s to boot. Nothing like the Michigan Ave Tiffany’s in Chigago.
And I never spend any money there...I just take it all in. Just like Holly.
Maybe I need a new pair of shoes or a hair cut...that works wonders also.
