I’m having a Blue Day; something that’s not happened in quite some time. (Think the last Blue Day I had was in March.) There’s nothing to be done about it which I’ve not tried to do already. I’ve always kept myself busy as sort of a general rule of thumb about how I want to live my life…and when I sense the coming onslaught of a Blue Day, I usually work doubly hard to be even more busy than the norm (hence the mania of posts and energy as of late).
This time it’s not worked, and so here I am firmly entrenched in my Blue Day. Weather seems to agree with my mood as it is pissing rain, cloudy and cold. Seated in Bridgehead earlier today, I had to control myself so as to not cry into my latté. I made it to the washroom and sniffled quietly away as I reapplied my lip-gloss.
I’ve already watched the entirety of Season 6 of Lorelai & Rori and have nothing warm to cozy up to this night. Mum’s in Dubai for the next three weeks and although I have the full of 24 hours a day to do anything my heart desires, I have no desire to do a thing.
It’s moments such as these when I wish a boy would close the world, pull me in, cover me up and tell me everything was going to be ok.
Bet you have never had me pegged for such a completely foolish romantic.

You will meet that right man one day, and then…. Love is the only game where two can play and both can win.

I always had you pegged for a “completely foolish romantic” and that’s why I fell in love with you, bitch!
Mayport’s right and any straight man would be a fool not to play this game with YOU!!!! I hope you see pink soon.

Maybe it’s time to go lingerie shopping or jewellery shopping or tea/coffee boutique shopping.
…or embrace the blue by renting some sappy dvd’s…the kind that are sad so you can have a good cry but also heartwarming/funny ones to make the blue a slightly warmer shade.
Lisa’s recommendations:
Simon Birch
The Notebook
While You Were Sleeping
Legend of 1900
Rudy
Pride & Prjudice
Addicted to Love
Sometimes if you embrace the blue instead of fighting it, it gets bored and moves on.

Blue days….I know about those. I don’t get thwm anywhere near as I used to, thankfully, but almost as importantly, I’ve had to learn to deal with them when they come. I’ve found that the key is to slow down without stopping. Though I’m not enthusistic about doing things, I know that that’s only temporary, and doing nothing makes things worse, so I keep going- but I don’t punish myself by pushing myself too hard. I also find that contemplative exercise, like swimming and long walks, helps.
Anyway, hope it was for just the day.

mayport: thank you…that’s sweet. And welcome 
Tommy: I saw a little pink yesterday and am seeing more today. It may be a Blue Week, but it’ll pass. They always do…
Lisa: Ooooh, excellent list! I rented *In Her Shoes* but haven’t been able to watch it. I’ve gone out the last couple of nights and hung out with the girls, went home and crashed. I’m pretty much falling asleep at any point in the evening…it’s nice to just cozy up and nap until the next morning. Or not, lol!
And I’ve taken your advice to heart >> embracing the blue and letting it run it’s course. It’S here for a reason and it’s best to just not fight it, I guess. Bizarre thing is I don’t have the energy to write anything at the moment…
Yesterday I went out and bought 4 button downs and a gorgeous blazer. It didn’t really help, but whatever.
a montreal paul: Funny that you say the key is slowing down without stopping. I did that last this happened and it very nearly ruined me, actually. So this time, I’ve been going into overdrive every night until I get home at which point I just completely crash. I don’t know which route is best but I’ll get tired of being out every night soon enough, I think. I’ll let you know how my mind and body react to this excess. Weird thing is I was doing exactly what you mention above last time, and this time I’m going the exact opposite, and as hard as I can.
Which is best will be seen once I’m seeing pink again >> but I’ll let you know what the measured outcome is (thank you for your post).

How says Blue days are a bad thing? I relish in them when they come, have myself a good cry and cleanse my soul, truly. It’s ok to be sad.

God, Mo…not this year…not this time…I just can’t handle it and so am doing everything in my power to avoid it
You’ll get the call when I come crashing down from everything :S

You gotta do whatever you gotta do to make yourself feel better. If that means going long and hard, then totally do it until you’re all burned out,.
