storytimewithjoe | Mid-afternoon and dark moon blues (Reply)

Once again, I have demonstrated my ability to record the lunor cycles according to my mood. Yesterday was a pretty ok day. Work was productive, and it was gorgeous outside. As I returned to the office from lunch, I almost went into a total tearburst. No reason - just felt down. My blood-sugar was fine, as I had just eaten. Everything in my life is great. So whasssap? Ah yes... the classic phenomenon - I checked the lunar cycle, and low n' behold we were on a new moon. This one hit me quite by sudden, and quite hard. But wait, the symptoms get freakier. All afternoon, while I was quite stuffed, I wanted chocolate... CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE! And once I got back in the door at home, I set to work making dinner. I wasn't sure what to make, but one thing was certain - it all needed salt. EVERYTHING must be salty!

Now note, I typically do not have a sweet-tooth. Also, I almost never cook with salt.

If I were a woman, I would swear this was PMS. But once again, I defy the stereotype by displaying the symptoms in my own Pagan-male version of Post-Moon-Syndrome.

So after a very anxious and stressed-sleep last night, I awoke this morning determined to turn this mood around. So with the help of fathers-little-helper (a nice dose of Valerian), I am actually on a bit of an upswing. THANK THE GODS! When I get like this, I don't even like myself - I can't imagine anybody else wanting to be around me.
