Mostly for me bad days and bad weeks mean bad vertigo days/weeks; there are occasionally "nothing in particular" bad days/weeks, but I'm afraid I'm not very good at being kind to myself over them, being somewhat prone to snapping at myself, "You can walk today, so quit whining."
One of the big things I do is keep single-serving containers of soup in the freezer, and another is cleaning (and chopping, where appropriate) fruit and vegetables more or less as soon after I get them as I can manage, so that if I am not knife-safe that day, I don't have to be, I can just throw salad fixings together, sit down and eat strawberries, etc.
I am trying to remind myself that rereading is okay--I do not always have to chip away at the to-read pile. Because there are things I can read--the Vorkosigan books, the Casson family books, the Lord Peter Wimsey books, and the Secret Country books, most notably--that will be good for me and will be the right thing, and I don't have to shuffle through something that isn't.
When I'm really down, I need to remember to resort to Galaxy Quest more often. Because: Galaxy Quest. I mean really. (See also: The Princess Bride, Meet the Robinsons, Monsters Inc..)
