In my language, when something bad/annoying happens to you after a period of fun, we say something that translates to "X drained all the joy from Y."
Does it work in English? If not, what can be said?
1. I had a lot of fun on my trip to Paris, but then I caught a cold and it drained all the joy from the trip.
2. We had a wild party, but the morning after, my boss dumped a million assignments on me and drained all the joy from the party.
