sabremeister | I feel like crying

It's at this time of year, when the shop fronts start turning pink for Valentine's Day, and the days are still too short despite getting longer again, and it's ages to the next holiday, that I start to get really depressed again after the main Christmas plunge. Add to the fact that I've just had a bit of personal bad news, which has once again made it feel like the bottom has dropped out of my world, and I almost want to break down and sit crying with my head on the keyboard.

But since, due to some dodgy sausages last week, the world is trying to fall out of my bottom, leaning over a table and relaxing everything is not going to be a good idea if I want to wear these trousers to work tomorrow.

It might at least be a bit more bearable if I knew anyone in drinking distance. Or I had some hope of companionship in the next few weeks - but with my track record on that, I had more chance of winning the EuroMillions last week.

I think I'm getting homesick, too.
