Being sad for no reason = strange looks from others

After our works team building day I came back with the strangest hangover (so odd in fact that the day after I got back I checked my temperature for signs of swine flu) and am now feeling all weird emotionally, self pitying and stuff. I seem to have somehow triggered one of those awful, for absolutely no reason, hormonal times that became a permenant part of my life when I turned 21 (but this time minus the random outbreaks of tears which is a massive improvement). So right now, I'm off being all stupid and (I was going to say girly but have decided to invent a new word that doesn't insult my sex by association) emotivally, reading books and blogs by people much more sensible than me, listening to boys play guitars and trying to get myself to the end of this new, crazy hormonal phase.

This weekend I'll be in Bath saying bye to a friend returning to her native homeland and drinking my for no real reason sorrows away (I'm a happy drunk, so it will make for a cool weekend). Then I will return with reviews and news, hopefully refreshed and back to my more sensible self. Have nice weeks and weekends everyone!

DIfficult and trying times! Enjoy some time to wallow, we all need it! And here's to smiles returning sometime soon....when it's time for them.

Did the team-building involve A: Paintballing, B: White Water Rafting, or C: Large amounts of alchohol?

If it didn't, I suspect it may count as D: Officially Not Proper Team Building.

Go back and do it again. With inflatable rafts full of paint and real ale this time.

I hope you have a great weekend in Bath and get over your flumps quickly.

Thanks Amy and Peta - I'm pretty confident Bath will sort me out (just hope it stops raining).

Stu - I was so up for white water rafting! Originally it was suppoused to be clay pigeon shooting but in the end was a James Bond themed day (rifles, axe throwing etc, although not sure I've ever seen JB throw an axe), with a pub quiz at the end. But I think it qualify on the count of large amounts of alchol.

Ah, I believe a good pity party is a good thing to have every once in a while :)

I do hope you feel better and hopefully being with your friends and in Bath (Love that place!) will help get you feeling back to normal!
