mousme: A turquoise twenty-sided die that has landed on "1." The caption reads: "Shit." (Natural One)

I should apologize for the permanent bad mood

I am taking solace in a quote from Charles Darwin's diary:  'But I am very poorly today & very stupid & I hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.'

So even brilliant naturalists were prone to having horrible depression days. I'm not actually depressed, I don't think, or at least not as badly as I remember it being back when I was actually depressed (a quarter of a century ago now, wow!). Or maybe I am situationally depressed as opposed to chemically imbalanced depressed, and maybe that feels different? I don't know.

Anyway, I am being a major bummer to be around for everyone, including myself. If I could get away with it, I'd hide in my bedroom in my bed for the next six months or so until the universe decides to turn things around. Unfortunately, I still have to interact with the world. 

On that note, I have to get back to work. Catch you on the flip side, friends!
