I know the meaning of "one of those days"

You know its funny how life is. Today was a great day, the first in a
long (long) while. I went into the office today (as you know i work from
home, so trips there are few and far between) and all was well. My
company has a barbecue any Friday that isn't payday and that falls on
today! I offered to cook, and spent a few hours in the sunshine cooking
burgers, dogs, brats, and chicken breast for the whole staff.

The birds were chirping. People were full of smiles. No one was tense,
everyone was witty and urbane. I got nice compliments from the owner and
i am about to hit a very big deadline which will free up my life
considerably.

Yesterday I saw spaceballs on the big screen at a midnight in Universal
City Walk. I got extra sleep this morning. Hell I even felt thin.On the
way home Music sounded good, and the air smelled sweet.

Now its gone.

That feeling of a beautiful day, of life being grand, of simple joy at
breathing good air.

The only 2 enlightening things about a day like that is 1) how much more
depressing a good day gone bad is then one that started bad. You get a
little taste and then your hooked, only to have it yanked away. Kind of
like how a drug dealer always gives the first hit for free, then you're
hooked and can't afford another hit. Which brings me to my second point:
2) i see how people can get hooked on mood elevating substances. Being
able to bottle euphoria and take it with you is a powerful aphrodisiac
(per se).

Now i don't feel like i am about to beat a deadline, i feel like i have
one hanging over me.
I feel like i wasted a sunshiny day.
I feel like i was up too late, and slept too late.
I feel like..... oh damn, what a waste of a day of life.

life, or something like it... huh?
