Hey, chica,

<<I have no wise words to offer, only that it happens to me, too. It feels like a phase to me, and the more I concentrate on it the worse it gets. But they eventually go away.Hypersensitivity: I am CERTAIN my suitemate here at work is bringing in brownies and stuff to specifically target me and make me fail at my new diet. So I can vouch for the fact at least *I* am oversensitive this time of year...
Are you doing anything differently? When I get that way at work, I try to cover myself by saying, "I might not be phrasing this right, my brain is fried, but do you....?" And at least they won't think I'm personally attacking them or whatever and it gives them a chance to clarify for me....
I dunno. The new year is almost here. I'm wishing/praying/hoping/demanding it be better for all of us. :-)
Hang in there...
Susan
