January, you have been a tough one. I don't ever recall feeling like this during previous January's but for some reason I have felt the strain and emotion of post Christmas blues. (Sorry, that will be the last time I mention that C word for 11 months!)
Perhaps being in my mid thirties gives me permission to turn into a grumpy old woman. I hope not! Then again, when you're battling against whatever storm the met office have named, trying to get your head around a new diet plan when you're already so in-tune with the old way, paying out for dodgy oil leaks (my car, not me) and unnecessarily panicking over direct debits that have already come out, it makes for a stressful few weeks.
Good job I opted out of Dry January! Not that I don't think it's a good idea, mind you, but when January is depressing enough on its own, not having a vodka or two does make it even more dull! Saying that, the hangover I suffered today after the bottle I unexpectedly went through last night with my sister has made me question whether I should have committed to it this year. Nah, who am I kidding, everyone knows I love Vodka too much and I have to admit, it was a great night. We only went to meet our brother and his family at the pub for a couple of drinks; a standard Saturday for us, but after he invited us back to their house for a few more drinks, quickly followed by a dinner, it would have been rude to say no! Nine hours later, I staggered into a taxi and welcomed with one mother of a hangover today. Suffice to say, I dragged my sorry self out of bed at 5pm this afternoon and haven't done much else since. Let's just hope I don't get hit with boozy blues now!
Despite the struggle of January, I feel like I'm leaving it on a high and entering February on a positive note. Payday has arrived, the diet is back on track and Valentines Day is on the horizon so who knows, maybe the prospect of a new love interest is heading my way. I hope so. Being single sucks....but that's a whole other blog for you to look forward to!
Time to head to bed now. Sweet dreams lovelies!

- Welcome to my Blog. I set this up after realising I spend far too much time updating my Facebook status and living in hope that one day a celeb will reply to one of my Tweets. So if you like reality TV, makeup, short story ideas, magazines, chocolate and the occasional gym class, then this is the blog for you. Now get that tea brewing, grab a couple of digestives and let yourself escape into my world...you never know, you might like it here!
I've had a bit of the blues myself lately.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle. I'm very glad you're not leaking oil yourself :D
I'm twice your age and occasionally get grumpy myself - laughing helps.
but I no longer drink and don't miss the hangovers.
Sorry to read that your January was difficult emotionally and hope your February is a happy one.
I expect I'll spend Valentine's Day alone with my fantasies, reading interesting blogs like yours, and maybe watching NetFlix.
Thanks for the sweet dream wishes. Cyber hugs from an ancient recluse living across the pond in the U.S.. I hope your dreams are fun, sweet and happy too.
