I’ve been in kind of a “funk” lately. Don’t really know why. Nothing I can really put my finger on. I’m not mad, I just feel kind of numb and disconnected. Don’t feel like doing anything. It’s icky! And I don’t like it. I haven’t even been able to come up with a post. Just nothing to say.
I’m sure the impending doom of the economy and the uncertainty of our future is playing a hefty part in it. I think most people are holding their breath; hoping they won’t get “the axe” because God knows, it’s not like you can just go out and get another job. Not now a days.
My own little personal world is ok. Not fabulous, but ok. Certainly better than many, many folks out there. I’m pretty sure there are about a million people that would trade places with me in a New York minute. But still, the funk persists.
I don’t know – maybe it’s just a combination of small things. Perhaps it’s the dull ache I’m feeling in a tooth that already has a crown on it.
Or the fact that I just replaced my washing machine a couple of months ago, and now my dryer is making a huge clunking noise every time it starts or stops.
Or the fact that my camcorder won’t hold a charge for more than 15 seconds, so it needs to be plugged in if I want to use it. Waaugh, waaugh, waaugh. (I know many of you are rolling your eyes right now – but it’s still irritating to me).
Perhaps it’s my failure to have followed up on most of my new years resolutions. Or the fact that nearly every product I look at is made in China.
I think the haze may be just starting to lift. I hope so. There’s just too much to do to be wasting time being in a funk!!
Aw, Mickey! I went through the same thing recently, and it still socks me in the nose every once in a while, but if I keep moving forward, it can’t get the better of me. The only comforting thing I can say (and I don’t know if it will be all that comforting) is that it WILL pass, whatever it is. Like you said, it’s probably just a hundred small things that eventually start to weigh a ton. And there’s no ignoring that we live in very scary times right now. Hang in there! I always think of you as the strong one. Perhaps a couple glasses of wine for girls’ night out will alleviate our pain. (((((hugs)))))
Thanks Gail!! I am feeling better today, so I think the worst is over. Need to take a chill pill! :-#
Good!! Glad you’re better. I am still prescribing wine - for both of us. Hope your days continue to improve.
