Having fun, lightening your mood, and kicking back are also key elements in managing stress. Different people have different approaches to this, so pick an activity that works well for you. Many people find it helpful to talk to a friend when they are stressed out.  For some people, it is helpful to vent their frustrations. Getting whatever is stressing you out off your chest can help you relax. Call a friend who won't mind a 10 minute venting session.  Other people prefer to be distracted. Call a friend who is fun, or who makes you laugh. This can help take your mind off your troubles and de-stress. Even if you can't reach a friend to talk to, laughter can be a powerful way to relieve stress. Fortunately, there is plenty of content online that can help you laugh your troubles away.  Look up jokes on the internet, and take 10 minutes to have a good chuckle. Look up funny videos that will make you laugh. This could be cat videos, clips of your favorite comedy show, sports bloopers, or something else. Whatever you find funny can help you get your mind off your troubles. Many people find physical activity relaxing. This doesn't have to be something as formal as mindful walking. You can move around in your home in ways that help you relax.  Some people find cleaning the house to be a good way to relieve stress. Find a small cleaning project you can do for 10 minutes. Vacuum your floor, wipe down some counters, or clean the tub. For some people, a little dance party goes a long ways. Either by yourself or with a friend, take a few minutes to dance to your favorite music. Just cut loose for a few minutes. If you don't like dancing, you may still find music is a great way to decrease stress levels. Play some tunes that help you feel calmer.  For some people, this means relaxing or mellow music, like classical or smooth jazz. For others, some upbeat happy tunes are what take the edge off. Experiment with different types of music and see what works best for you. Many people find showering to be a good way to de-stress. For some people, hot showers work best. But for others, a cool shower might be most relaxing. Again, find what works best for you. There are body washes and other shampoos that are designed to help relieve stress through aromatherapy. Try one of these to see if it helps you. Some people find eating certain foods to be very calming. It might be sugary sweet, a salty snack, or a favorite fruit. You know your own tastes, so pick something that works well for you. It is important not to overindulge as a means to managing stress. This can lead to a variety of health problems including weight gain, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Make your indulgences small. Have a single piece of candy or a handful of chips. Don't consume the whole bag in an attempt to eat your stress away. There are lots of other activities that can reduce stress, from kissing to praying to drinking tea. Try out some of your own ideas, and see what works best for you.

Infected sores are bad news, so if you think that your sores may be infected, you should contact your doctor immediately. Signs that your sores are infected include:  A fever An increase in inflammation that causes additional pain The sore feels warm to the touch The sore is shiny and smooth Your symptoms are getting worse You can soak any infected sores in Burow’s solution (commercial name, Domeboro) or tap water. This helps to decrease oozing, clean away any crusting and soothe the skin.  Burow’s solution has antibacterial and astringent properties. You can purchase it without a prescription at your local pharmacy. Instead of soaking your sores, you can also apply the Burow’s solution directly onto your sores via the cold compress. You can apply the compress for up to 20 minutes, several times a day. Once a lesion has crusted over, you can apply capsaicin cream (e.g. Zostrix) to it. You can apply the capsaicin cream up to 5 times a day in order to promote healing.

Put a small amount of glue at the back-center of the cells and then press them into place on the board. The tabbing wire should run in a single, straight line through each row. Make sure the ends of the tabbing wire are coming up between the cells and are free to move, with just the two pieces sticking up between each cell.  Keep in mind that one row will have to run in the direction opposite to the one next to it, so that the tabbing wire sticks out at the end of one row and on the opposite side of the next. You should plan to put the cells in long rows, with a fewer number of rows. For example, three rows each consisting of 12 cells placed long side to long side. Remember to leave an extra inch (2.5 cm) at both ends of the board. Apply flux to the length of the two thick lines (contact pads) on each cell. Then, take the free sections of tabbing wire and solder them to the entire length of the pads. The tabbing wire connected to the back of one cell should connect to the front of the next cell in every case. At the beginning of the first row, solder tabbing wire to the front of the first cell. The tabbing wire should be about an inch (2.5 cm) longer than needed to cover the lines, and should extend towards the extra gap on the board. Solder those two wires together with a piece of bus wire that’s the same size as the distance between the thick lines of the cell. Connect the end of the first row to the beginning of the second with a long piece of bus wire that extends between the wire at the edge of the panel and the wire that’s the furthest away in the next row. You will need to prepare the first cell of the second row with extra tabbing wire, as you did with the first. Connect all four wires to this bus wire. Continue connecting the rows with the long bus wires until you reach the end, where you will connect it with a short bus wire again.
