I think I've got a case of the doldrums.
I'm not sad, really.
Not tired or bored.
Listless. That's what I am.
Merriam-Webster defines listlessness as "characterized by lack of interest, energy or spirit."
I think tomorrow Mara and I will stay in our jammies all day, watch old movies and eat junk food. Isn't that the best cure for a case of the doldrums?

Those are the days I usually label with Springsteen's descriptor of "tired and bored with myself" - nothing sounds appealing or interesting. Enjoy your "day off"!!!
A dear friend pointed out to me that every September I go through the same thing. It borders on a mild depression. I think I get this in late January or early February, too. A sort of Seasonal Affective Disorder due to the lack of light. But I also believe it is because we are 'in between seasons'. I'm mentally done with the one I'm in and longing for the next one. Can anyone relate?
Enjoy your day!
I get them every year. It usually followed by a cleaning frenzy. Maybe my body is storing up energy. I love to spend a day in my robe, reading murder mysteries and drinking tea. I also crave sweets and carbs like toast and honey.
