Red mist, and blue thoughts

I’ve been feeling a little aggressive over the weekend.. Lots of things have been annoying me and I haven’t been able to throw them off with my usual brevity and nonchalance..
I blame the banking community. I don’t know why, but they seem to be at fault for everything else, so my current mood may as well be added to the list. It might help if I slept properly. Or if I had a girlfriend. Or if I worked sensible hours instead of unsociable ones. Or if I wasn’t a miserable so-and-so and could actually find things to be cheerful about. Apparently, according to some mental health website I found on my online trawlings, when you’re feeling low it’s good to write a list of good and bad things in your life to keep things in perspective.. I just did that.. I found 4 good things in my life to be pleased about, and 237 bad things to feel down about. Admittedly, some of them were a bit nitpicky.. Such as ‘My hairline looks like it might be receding already’ but even so.. I think I should make a new pact with myself – Don’t Try And Write A Witty And Informative Blog When I’m Feeling About As Happy And Funny As Michael Barrymore.
My continuing battle with my waistline doesn’t help. Every time I have to throw another pair of trousers away coz they’re too tight, I slip another rung down the ladder of happiness. Mind you, off-setting that by comfort-eating three packs of HobNobs and a microwave curry probably doesn’t help.
I’ll try and cheer up before tomorrow..
