feeling sulky

floatingleafSo I didn't go to the movies yesterday. I woke up still feeling pretty weak and lethargic, and was actually relieved when akashaelfwitch cancelled our outing (something urgent came up on her end). It was very cold and windy too, so getting dressed and venturing outside really didn't sound appealing. Instead, I spent the day lounging about, reading, catching up on emails etc. Which seems to have been exactly what I needed.
This morning my energy levels were back to normal, but after a full day at work I am a little deflated again. It is always a bit tough to "get back to reality" after a long, relaxing weekend - especially if said "relaxing" was mostly due to not feeling very well. And it is particularly tough, for me, in cold weather - after spending a few days ensconced warmly at home. There's always this baleful feeling of "wahhh, do I REALLY have to go out there in the grey, frosty morning and shiver at the bus stop???" *sulks*
I'm sure I'll get over it in a few days... but right now I'm struggling with a bit of classic winter gloom. Which means I might not be feeling very chatty in the near future. The one thing that helps with this despondent mood is getting more sleep - which, of course, makes weekday evenings even shorter.:/ But what's the use of longer evenings if you're not coherent enough to enjoy them much anyway?... I've found the hard way that I am unable to "cheat" my body when it comes to the required amount of sleep - that "one more hour" of computer time at night will sooner or later come back to bite me in the ass, especially if I have to get up early the next morning. Still, it's tough to be the strict parent to my inner child and send it to bed when it's having such a great time online.:D Which, I'm sure, is something a great many of my flisters can relate to...

The cold weather is not conductive to feeling cozy and comfortable, to be sure. Just pamper yourself a little for the next few days and you should be feeling back to normal in no time.

I hope that you feel better soon, and maybe get some nice weather too.
