Ever have one of those days where nothing seemed to go right? Where you start the day off bright-eyed and busy-tailed and even excited about the day ahead - including a conversation with the Boss - and end up stepping in a pile of shit before the day is half over. That was my day today and it only seemed to get better.

As many of you may know, being on a diet can cause emotional waves - adjusting to something completely different - but while the seas have been pretty steady for nearly two weeks with an occasional rising wave or two - but my first step in poo-poo was a big one. Came out of the blue like a meteor striking the Earth. Shook me to the core.

Now generally, I’m not the one to get shaken - if anything I become fueled and my passion increases ten-fold. When I tell you it shook me to the core - think the feeling of impending danger you can be assured is lurking and will attack you. I can still feel it in my gut now as I write - and the ‘diet’ wave became a tsunami just as fast.

Couldn’t think - couldn’t compose comprehensive thoughts for several hours - and then just went brain dead stupid.

So, what can be better to cure the depressing day blues than to express yourself in one’s blog? (Does the apostrophe belong? I can never remember.) It seems to be a way to cool down the senses and ensure that you are ‘back to normal’ - as if you are able to pour the emotions and feelings through your fingertips, into the keyboard and onto the screen - and rid yourself of them.

Today, however may require some simple and tested sleep. Tomorrow is a fresh, new day with much to look forward to. I have so much to do, sometimes I wish I was next door.
