Emotional Flu

[cjsmith]

Some days I feel like I have the opposite of the Midas touch: everything I touch turns to ash. Two people are unhappy with me, work wants me to work miracles (although they're not particularly unhappy), I can't banter with someone without setting myself up to feel bad for some obscure and unfathomable reason, blah blah blah. I want to crawl under the covers and pull them over my head and not talk to ANYBODY.

Except for dinner tonight. THAT WAS GREAT!!

This must be the emotional equivalent of having the flu.

(If so, dinner was aspirin, or decongestant, or something.)

I like that "positive virus" idea!

I am convinced there's a "sleep really poorly for a day" virus. Everyone I know will suddenly have a really bad sleep night ALL AT ONCE.

rest, tea, more dinners like the one you just had, and for someone special to bring you flowers, or chocolates, or some sort of present. And hiding. You'd be surprised at the theraputic value of hiding ... :

I like this prescription! Rest I can get... tea I can go get RIGHT NOW, hang on a minnit... there! lemon herbal tea... and maybe I'll hide later on this afternoon. hee. I feel like I'm seven. That's probably just about right. :-)
