I know the money wasn't mine, and it needed paying, but for that hour while it was in my bank account, I was quite happy.
On the plus side, everything to do with the money pit I used to own is done and dusted, and I am starting the new year debt free.
Yay me.

Make sure I make myself do things rather than just sitting and sulking, which will ultimately make everything much worse. If it carries on much longer I might have to go to the doctor though. I've missed three days off work in a row because I can't leave the house. Don't want to go to the doctor though, because a) I'm in denial a bit and b) I'm scared.

I'm off a three month 'high' period and into the slump. Which is rubbish, because when I'm in the 'high' part of the cycle, I don't have to eat or sleep, and I always have great adventures and end up with good stories to tell. When I'm in the low part, I just tend to avoid all human contact, eat too much and not sleep but *always* be exhausted.
I don't want meds though.

before the oops happened there was nothing wrong with my work life. But now I feel incredibly on edge and like I'm constantly playing catch-up. I'll work through it; I have no choice, and logically I know the likelihood of them firing me 8 months before the end of my contract is minimal. But it's stressing me out regardless.
I'm working harder to make sure my projects are complete before the end of september, when my contract finishes. If I don't get a PhD I doubt I'll stay, which means lots of job applications and the like so 2011 is going to be a year of very work-related stuff anyway.
