4: Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace.
If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.
