Of course you were not cheery! Don't worry about it! Beside, you are right, faking is the last thing you want to do in any case. Some days real life take precedence.
I took myself to IHOP for breakfast after, and had all the cholesterol they could fit on a plate. Actually, I think it took two plates. Took the day off work, went golfing with S20. It was good distraction.
