Sorry to hear you caught the 'blue bug' too, Tal. My personal theory is that the proximity of the holidays is getting to us. Whatever it is, it sucks.
Everybody tells me that if I pamper myself, read and watch scapist stuff and wait it out, the bug will pass. Any specific Indian remedies? Fern tea? (oops, is that poisonous?)
