I wonder what's up with me? I have been incredibly weepy the last couple of days. No real reason I can pinpoint, but I've been on the point of bursting into tears at various times for the last couple of days. Someone said something to me in email today which I suspect was meant jokingly, but it ended up making me cry. Someone else said something that made me sniffle in a good way, so I suppose it evens out. I'm desperately fighting the urge to go chop off my hair (which is now just about to the bottom of my shoulder blades). Every time I get to feeling depressed, I want to do something drastic to my hair, either cut it all off or dye it some unnatural color. Oddly enough, I don't think I'm actually depressed right now. My mood is off and I feel a bit sad, but it feels noticeably different to me from the depression I'd been dealing with for the last however many months before the sam-e kicked in and the sun came back out. My boss pointed out that we're allowed to go in the hole for up to a week of vacation time (we get a week immediately which we can take, although we still have to accrue it), so I've been toying with the idea of taking a couple of days (which I do actually have), throwing some clothes and music into the car and going walkabout for a bit. Maybe that's what I need to snap out of this whatever it is.

I am sorry to hear that you are out of sorts :( You seemed so happy this weekend.

I wish I could say something less facile than "cheer up". Maybe taking a couple of mental health days really would be a good idea.

Would the weather be better in New England (grin)?

Post-birthday/reminder of mortality blues?

(many hugs) and I'll second Jae's toast ;-)

But selfishly, I hope that you don't cut off all of your hair before I finally get to meet you next month ;-)

never underestimate the value of taking a well-deserved constitutional..

whether it be a motorcycle trip to Maine and back, or a week on a beach in the Carribbean..
