And then there was Ruth: Everyone was sad

This blog entry was written over a period of a lot of hours, being as I have a lot of work to do. Hence the changes in perspectives and slightly weird format/tenses ect....

It was also written between about 12-5am, so don't take it too seriously....

4)Well apparently this has been a bit of a downer week for everybody at at least some point during the week.
What coincidental timing. I don't have a reason or a cure, but hey I guess everyone has to be down sometimes.
I suppose everyone has their own way of dealing with it.It can feel like you're the only one feeling down, so everyone being sad at the same time could actually be encouraging in a weird way. I kind of missed it by afew days so I don't really know.
It feels good to be back on a more positive note again, and this week is finally over. Hooray, less impending deadlines!
1)

I feel pretty calm right now. It feels good.

It feels like ages since I've felt calm about anything.

I've had a pretty rubbishy week this week. I've felt fairly stressed out and a bit negative. It's probably not entirely over yet, but right now I actually feel pretty good.

Enough coffee, a lack of sleep, actually starting work, who knows what the deciding factors of calmness are?

(I think the amount of coffee I've drank, and the lack of sleep (3 hours sleep. I wonder what my minimum is?) could be pretty big factors).

3)(Usually Freemans mind is one of the best cheer-up things for me. It doesn't matter how you feel, this makes you feel better. Even if you're already happy. This guy is having one of the worst days, and he just plods along ranting at the world and its incompetence while still finding time to digress into other amusing topics. Gordan freeman is never sad, only annoyed and trigger happy. Unfortunately I already re watched the whole series, so it is temporarily unavailable to me.)

2)It's was 1 am, one of those times when its harder to feel stressed out and negative, because if you've had enough caffeine time seems to slow down a bit. Finishing that bit earlier or later doesn't make that much difference because the next deadline is sleep, which a very flexible deadline. It's dark, and there's no one around.

So if anyone is feeling negative, down or stressed out just keep plodding on.

There's pretty much alway some good times to look forward to, even if you don't know what they are right now

so I guess my take on being sad is to just keep going untill you are no longer sad.
