Have you ever had one of those days where you just can’t shake the weight from your shoulders, and you don’t even know why you are feeling this way? I had just that kind of day today.

I don’t even know how it all began. I awoke in the normal way, and went about my usual morning routine, dropping things as I went – but this is all normal for me – and left for work in good time. Yet somehow I just had a really bad day.

You know the kind of day I’m talking about. You drag your feet as you walk; your shoulders are slouched, as if burdened by an awkward weight, you breathe heavily from time to time, sighing at the daily grind that seems somewhat harder to deal with today. People you normally speak to receive the cold-shoulder treatment as you struggle to enjoy anybody’s company. The truth is, all you want is to be left alone.

It’s all the more difficult to understand, as I am usually a very happy and sociable person. I always have time for everyone, even those that frustrate me in their various ways. I seek out certain people and greet all that I pass during the day. Yet today, I just didn’t feel like communicating with anyone, and those who frustrate me normally, really frustrated me today.

As I said, I have no idea why I felt this way. I wasn’t unusually tired, and don’t particularly have that much playing on my mind these days, unless I am subconsciously thinking about something.

I guess everybody has these days from time to time. Maybe it’s time to recharge some batteries, as I do feel drained, though I don’t feel tired. As I am always very happy and full of energy, maybe it has just caught up with me. I guess the awful English weather doesn’t help matters much either.

Maybe there is some chemical imbalance in my brain today, stopping me from functioning as I normally would, but I feel its something a good sleep will cure. Were all entitled to an off day every now and then and I guess this is mine. Lets look forward to tomorrow, and make the conscious effort to be happier and more sociable. It doesn’t feel right to be miserable.
