Ennui

A lovely word for boredom

That’s not quite right. Ennui is boredom and so much more! It’s being bored and tired at once!

What more could I ask for?

As it turns out, I could ask for a whole lot more, because ennui results from a lack of excitement. And, it turns out, that’s where I am right now. I’m bored with editing. There’s nothing really happening in my life except an upcoming cataract surgery, and even my writing isn’t piquing my interest.

Whatever will I do?

There’s lots of things I can do. Change my scenery, whether local or out-of-town. Find novel experiences. Find something new to write. Find something gripping to read.

It’s just so hard getting up to do something.

I want to do something, but … meh.

It’s been one of those summers, the ones where I want to accomplish big things, but. I can’t quite seem to wake up. I have no ideas to play with. I get no inspiration. I want to do something, but … meh.

Breaking out of the doldrums

The first thing I do to break out of the doldrums is get up, sit upright, start doing things. Like writing this blog, which has taken me three tries to write. Drink coffee. Contemplate something to break out of my routine.

Contemplating ways to get out of the house, away from the same walls, out into the open.

Something.

I’m off now

Time to get out of the doldrums.
