It’s not really been a good week, I’ve not been really feeling myself.
Okay, that’s an understatement. I’ve been feeling blue and grumpy. The glass is definitely half empty. I’ve been snippy, moody, and short-tempered. I’ve had too much on my plate so I’ve responded by being on active work avoidance and feel completely demotivated.
I know a lot of this would be “cured” by ordering myself to bed earlier and getting a decent night’s sleep. It just hasn’t happened yet.
I’m finding myself more and more living by my new motto, suitable for all occasions: Bollocks to it.
Ultra-depressing news publishing studies with a rather tenuous grasp of science? Bollocks to it.
Take the effort to sign a couple of petitions or write to your local labour MP only to get a long email from our Tone saying thank you very much, we are listening and do care but we’re going to do what we want to regardless? Bollocks to it.
Go to a car park, have the exact change needed for a two hour ticket only to have the machine swallow the money without spitting out any paper? Bollocks to it.
Have the washing machine break down again in the same month that you already spent £165 to repair it? Shittyfuckingbuggerybollocks to it.
Really I should have a solution to it all by the end of this blog post, or at least a witty one-liner to leave you with. But I don’t have one. Oh, bollo… you get the idea… [Publish]

And I guess that’s why they call it the blues…*Elton John voice*
I sympathise with your plight :-(

Close to my motto of the week (and I am on some really hefty anti-depressants). My motto is : Two words – Why Bother??
This may make you giggle a bit though, I “stumble”d onto a website the other day, and it said something along the lines of:
21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

Just don’t get the flu bug that is doing the rounds at the mo in addition to all these things! Things can only get better, can’t they?

I have weeks like that, in fact I sometimes have months like that.
Is living in Britain becoming truly depressing or is it just me?

February is always the worst month of any year – why is that?

Thank you all for your comments, hugs and general cheeriness :) Much appreciated.
The daft thing is, I have absolutely no *reason* to feel blue at all. Life is busy, but okay. I seem to be in the midst of an unusual bout of health. There’s no rhyme nor reason to it. As a result, I feel like a bit of a fraud.
Perhaps it just is the February effect – it has been fairly dark and gloomy of late. Roll on the sunshine.
