Saddest Day of the Year

My mom told me today that yesterday-January 17th- was the most depressing day of the year. I thought she was just trying to be funny since she saw how yesterday I was in one of my moods. BUT come to find out it wasn't a joke:

I know I didn't hear about it before and yesterday was totally horrible for me.

What about for you? What do you think? Did you have a "Blue Monday"?

Nope - Monday is always a big "blue" for me as a part of me really wishes I could take early retirement in June - but most of the time Monday just sucks for the usual reasons. Like wishing the weekend was longer, wishing one of my bosses wasn't an idiot (balanced by the fact that the other two are sane and wonderful), and that people didn't think just because they had a random thought that suddenly their random thought should become my priority.

If I'm off on Monday it's a day just like any other.

I had the first good day in over a week as I have been bedridden for 7 days straight.

Since it was a Holiday here (Martin Luther King Day) both my daughter and grandson came over to cheer me up and bring me food. I was so happy to see their smiling faces.

If I hadn't had that visit it would have been a very dark, sad, and gloomy day for sure.

Misunshine,

I am the same way... Hate to go to sleep (unless I feel totally horrible) because I know exactly what tomorrow will bring: more of the same : P
I truly feel as if I am walking on a treadmill And I hate walking & not getting anywhere
