Chanukah blues?

[chanaleh]

This pre-holiday crying jag (or whatever it is; it's not even PMS Day) can go away any time now, seriously. It is Not Welcome.

Though really, I have the feeling it's been looming like a distant stormcloud since about Thanksgiving -- despite how generally good I have felt in the intervening month, as most everyone who has seen me can attest -- so maybe this is just residual stuff that needs to get out of my system. And as my level of overbookedness reaches stupid proportions, as it has this past week, my defenses get worn down to the breaking point (something similar happened the week before The Margaret Ghost went up).

Also, I suspect that listening to Carousel on my commute is not helping.

Okay, work time. Two books to get out today.

I know that, for me, every once in a while, a good cry for no specific reason does me good. I assume there's reasons for it for which I'm not aware, and it tends to help.

I will gladly replay the above in person when I see you in TWO AND A HALF DAYS!!

You know, one of my former coworkers got so stressed and seasonal-affective-disordered after Tgiving that she'd develop severe insomnia every year at this time. So severe that it would be literally days and days where she'd be getting maybe an hour at night, and be totally wired and cranky and weepy during the day. Ambien didn't help; a host of other drugs didn't help. (I don't know how the story ends, as I ran off to have a baby and have kinda lost contact.)

I can completely sympathize. It is hard to remain useful and collected when there is no down time (even a 10 minute break here or there) to focus on centering yourself. I have been completely cranky (weepy and bitchy) for a couple of weeks now. I hope yours goes away (and so does mine) soon.

Sorry you've been feeling down, hope the clouds lift soon...
