Bleh.

This day hasn't gone particularly well, although I'm at a complete loss as to say precisely how.

I'm feeling anxious and stressed but for no particularly good reason. My shoulders and neck are very tense and my jaw feels like it's been clenched for three solid days. I'm reaching for food more than I should. I have a sense of impending doom which I can't quite identify.

Yet work has been relatively light and I have the next three evenings for domestic tranquility if not bliss. We had light blowing snow and icy ground cover this morning; this usually puts me into a very buoyant mood but the winter wonderland isn't having its usual effect.

Whatever it is, I hope it passes soon... the tension is giving me a low grade headache which really doesn't improve my mood.

I was feeling super tense and anxious right as I was starting to develop this horrid (latest) cold. Maybe you're actually getting sick?

Possible, but usually my appetite is the first to go; instead, I'm eating far more than I should.

If I start running a fever, I'll let you know. :-)

I blame everything on the holidays. It's a convenient excuse for everything.

There's a large element of truth to that: my background stress would be at a much lower ambient level if there wasn't gifts, holiday cards and obligatory celebrations to worry about, along with the usual nightmares accompanying the fiscal year end.

Exactly - buy me something nice, and extravagant, and see if that helps. I'm sure it'd help me.
