  3. Cook or buy your favorite foods. There is nothing like yummy food to deal with rainy day blues. Call up your favorite restaurant and order take-out. If you are a simple type and enjoy macaroni and cheese or hot dogs, cook them up!
  4. Play video games. Just decide to hunker down and avoid productivity for the day. If you are suffering from the rainy day blues, give yourself permission to just spend the day without worrying about responsibilities. Grab a beer and some fried food to consume while playing. Get comfortable and have some fun.
