Bad Mood

Dear Blog,

Nothing of importance can be blogged about, and there is nothing of interest TO blog about. Thus, no blogging of late.

To top it all off, I'm in a bad mood. It's one of those moods where you push everyone around you away, and then want to cry that nobody's talking to you. It's like I want to be left alone, but I want to know that lots of people are REALLY upset that I can't come out to play.

I'm in a bad mood even though:

I bought cherries for $1.99 per pound at Safeway last night
I did a good job at work this week
I did some work for one of the managing partners this week and didn't screw up
I am in the middle of a good book
I had a lovely lunch with a new friend today
I have worn new socks almost every day this week
I remembered to bring in a contribution for Bagel Day yesterday
I have four days off from work starting NOW
I figured out something other than a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers to wear to an event that deserves more than a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers
I discovered a blog that I like so much that I'm reading the archives
In two more months I will have been at my job for an entire year and I don't think I'm about to get fired at all

Hopefully this mood will pass soon. Very soon. Meanwhile I'm going to sulk and read. I figured I should post SOMETHING - that it was unfair of me to silently curse out my favorite bloggers for not blogging when I'm not blogging. So I have now blogged. Your turn.

P.S. I have done as all of you have suggested, and have closed my heart off to Friend # 2. At the beginning of the week I was not very smooth about it, and basically avoided her. Every time she tried to chat with me I visualized big metal gates clanging closed and locking (thanks Steve), and I kept things very impersonal. By the end of the week I was much smoother in my casualness and today we chatted and it was fine. Thank you.

Hope you feel better soon, but we all need to go through the blahs occasionally. Gotta have downs to have ups.

Not to sound too Oprah on you, but this too shall pass. Hope the mood passes and the other stuff stays.

If it makes you feel any better, I was starting to worry. Almost a week with no post? Thought maybe the grandmas caught you not wearing the color of the day. You know those old bitties can get mean....

I also have nothing to talk about. Or no energy to say it.
If it makes you feel better, I missed you.
I am not pushed away, I am still sitting here on my bed, with an oozing tit and coffee.

Haven't felt like blogging this week, either. And I so GET your comment about being irritated about my blogger friends not posting often enough for my liking.

Not that anyone's waiting with bated breath to see what I write next (guffaw) but now I understand that many of us blog to express, not to entertain.

I hope next week finds you in a better mood. The bad moods happen, and it's good to acknowledge them and move on when they've done so.

((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))
