Falls will always knock your confidence and ability to enjoy riding. If you've had two in a row your confidence is going to be shaken and then it can affect how you ride if you've got 'the fear', it's only natural.
Were you on gears? I do think one advantage of riding fixed at this time of year is it makes you go that bit slower and you're not pushing it round the corners. I can't remember now if you ride fixed or not now, I think possible not in which case this point is moot.
If you did 40 miles yesterday though that's plenty surely?!
I feel you anyway. I did 40 miles on Sunday after a big period of inactivity, then about 70 miles of commuting/pootling/errands Monday - Thursday. I was knackered by Friday and couldn't be arsed to ride in, so got public transport, which is very unusual for me. I was still tired enough last night to know I wasn't going to get up this morning and enjoy the sunshine, which is a shame, but I'm still tired, so sod it, I'm sat here listening to the radio and posting on here instead :/
