I need cheering up!

Help me, oh my friendly internets.

I've been feeling unaccountably glum for ... almost a week now. I would have put it down to the "holidays" (never a good time), but don't seem to be able to shake it off. I just feel overwhelmed and inadequate and old and sad, and I don't want to carry this feeling into the new year.

Please send good thoughts and/or something to make me smile.

Oh, the first from Sartorias is so sweet--I hope that brings you a smile.

Sending you all my good thoughts.

Thank you so much - you're right, of course. It's hardest when you're stuck in your own head and even feeling cynical about doing things to make yourself feel better! All these cheery comments really help.

Last night I ate half a pint of Ben and Jerry's for dinner while watching Xfiles.
