With that in my mind, I'd call upon the power of her breasts to take me up that darned climb. Laughter helped me get some energy and stop stressing out about it.

There's a really foul construction site which I have to battle each day I go to and from work, either that or fight inattentive traffic. I visualize it as if Steve Irwin were leading me through a sort of construction safari.

Breaking the monotony helps me conquer the crap. My two cents.
