Universe

Has the Universe gotten a little out of kilter? I'm not sure what it is, but it seems everything I attempt comes up a little short. Everyone I've talked to today was short and snippy and I feel like I'm getting sucked into a black hole.

What cause that?  Too much coffee? Too much time staring at a computer screen? Talking on a cell phone for long periods of time? Grits?
I'm baffled, and I'm ready to transcend, but I'd prefer not to do it pharmaceutically even though I have not ruled that out totally.
Maybe I just need a vacation for a change and not a "WorkAtion" which is the only kind of time off I've taken for the last several months.
I'm not at my office but I get paged, called, emailed and pinged and I wind up spending time doing work related stuff.
Maybe I should call in drunk. "I'd love to work today boss, but taxi's don't come out here where I live and it would be unwise to drive in my condition.
Maybe it's simply that it's the last week of January which is traditionally one of the most depressing times of the year for almost all of the civilized world.
So, I'm going to kick back, have some supper and spend a little time reading. Maybe that'll get the Universe back in alignment.
