Mixed Day

Had a mixed day today. At work, I was pretty much irritable and the day was quite rough for me. I think the depression from yesterday spilled over to today. So every minute thing added to the frustration I was already feeling inside. As I told a friend over msn today, I was suffering from ILS which stands for 'Intense Loneliness Syndrome'. The symptoms are marked by feelings of loneliness, helplessness, depression, irritability and frustration. So glad that everything changed for the better after I left work.

In fact, I went for my gym session prior to meeting Ryan and Marcus to celebrate Ryan's birthday. Although I was really exhausted from all the frustration I felt during the day, I managed to push myself a little more today for my workout. So I expect to ache a little tomorrow. It's amazing how aches and pain become your best friends when you are a seasoned gymer. :)

After the workout I went to lido to do a little window shopping. Saw a lot of stuff that I wanted to buy. Think this year's bonus is as good as gone man. :) The dinner went great. I was a little concerned that I might be quite moody during the dinner but I was wrong. Spent a little time chatting with Ryan while waiting for Marcus to arrive. Enjoyed every moment of it. When Marcus arrived, the conversations got funnier and funnnier. So glad that I was all or mostly smiles as opposed to being glum for a friend's birthday dinner. The dinner was done and we proceed to have a drink, much to my delight. What better way to continue a great conversation than to do it over alcohol! We had a great time. I really am glad that we could do this like old times. The last time we drank together was like easily six years ago (or longer). I really miss those days. Carefree living. We had nothing much then. We also had nothing much to worry about. Also, we might be going on a trip together next year. YIPEEEEE!!!!!! That was the best news yet. If not for the fact that we all have to work tomorrow, I don't think we would have left just yet. So thankful for tonight. So glad for friends who remain friends even after many years. Tonight's just simply great!

Thank you Lord...... :)
