In a slump

[pegkerr]

It's been very difficult the past few days, and I'd be hard pressed to say why. Winter slump/doldrums. The house and my office are messy, swamped with papers, which always makes me wild with irritation. It's been extremely difficult to get the girls to do their homework, practice their violins, pick up their rooms, etc. Cooperation is at an all-time ebb. I whacked away at piddley stuff today, balancing my checkbook, but feel overwhelmed with all the life-maintenance stuff I need to do. Have been weaseling out of doing my workouts lately; went out and bought new aerobics shoes today and am renewing my determination to get up and do workouts, at 5:15 a.m., God help me. Tomorrow for sure, I promise.

Sometimes life is both so uninteresting that there seems hardly any point at writing journal entries and so loathsome that one can hardly bear the dreary details. Ugh.

In a funk,
Peg

I would guess part of the reason for the slump is the Return To Reality, after what sounded like a lovely, largely responsibility-free weekend.

As for the 'life is so uninteresting' thing -- I think it sometimes is good to record those days as well as the days Where Things Happen because it all helps create the sense of your life, the ups and downs, the daily feel. And if some of those days are just "well, nothing in particular happened" days, that's something in itself in a way, isn't it? Besides, you can always come to vent about the things which frustrate you, just to get it out of your system.

I hope you can find some sunshine, or some good lightbulbs, and perhaps buy a pot of crocuses or something to help cheer you a bit. Small treats can sometimes go a long way. :)

Cheers
