Nice to know that it’s probably the prednisone that I am one for the tonsillitus that’s causing me to be tired, irrational and somewhat depressed. “Say what?” you might ask. Yeah. I tend to be tired, irrational and somewhat depressed anyway … but it just seems to be even more so over the last couple of days. Grrrrrr. Plus, I need someone to explain what “inappropriate happiness” is. That just sounds too weird.
if, for example, you were faced with a raft of polls indicating your state was about to go head-over-heels for George Bush and that made you feel like shakin your tush while humming, “You make me feel like dancin’, gonna dance the night away…”
*THAT* would be inappropriate happiness.
Heh. Yeah, that would be.
I would say, you waking up one day and thinking that the world was just a big beautiful place and you were in an all around cheerful mood would be inappropriate happiness.
Thanks for the birthday call and wishes.
Nice Blog. I have been looking for blogs and such that I can relate to. I invite you to come to my blog and join me in my delightful spiral into death depression and nothing.
Thanks for your time. Remain happy ?
