It’s October 24, 2021… and I’m going to be 60 in 9 days! Yep. It’s happening whether I like it or not… and I do not!
I’m sitting on my couch listening to Amazon’s Classical music for focus… while in my pjs with peanut shells littering the edge of the couch and floor. Which seem to be my norm lately, alternating between peanuts and Tweezers. Do you know that they have Twizzlers in a 2 lb container? Yep, thanks Amazon, but heh, I’ll blame it on COVID. Why not? Everything else seems to be it’s fault.
As you can see my mood is what I would describe as “blah”. My attitude is blah and my enthusiasm is blah. Blah, blah, blah…. I even own a coffee mug with blah, blah, blah written all over it but that means I talk… a lot. This blah that I have is a reflection on how I feel and what is going on in my life. Oxford definition:
blah /blä/. Informal, noun
1. used to refer to something which is boring or without meaningful content. "the first 20 pages are a lot of blah about budgets and stuff like that"
2. North American depression. "he battled a case of the blahs" adjective
dull or unexciting. "the game has been very blah
I'll choose the adjective.... dull or unexciting. For instance, I had to leave my comfy couch and move upstairs to my iMac... for some reason it's hard to type these blogs on my iPad. I keep trying though. Oh well, mood still blah.
Pro: the good thing about being a spinster during the blahs? Not much, I can stay in my pjs until I stink... I can let my messy bun turn into a bun 'nest'... these things right now seem about right and allowable.
Con: what the heck is a bun 'nest' you ask? It's where your messy bun gets so messy a bird can build a nest in it... yep, I've had a few of those the last month or two.... stink? (yes, yes I did).
It may appear that I'm being negative, even depressed. Not so, I do get spurts of energy and enthusiasm to do things, like, write this blog. I love writing, but with the blahs, things get difficult to do. I go see friends, albeit, I've had to cancel with my two besties last week... but, tomorrow it will happen. I've seen my Life Coach, and I do get energized after our sessions, but a few days? Back to the Blahs!
I'm sitting here trying to think of the things I've done. Went to BINGO with my friend. Yep. Had to put my kitty "Sweet Latara" down... she was 16 but developed a blockage. It was horrible, but I still have my Victor... he's so cute.
Well, this has been a 'frickin' waist of time... nah, just kidding... it helps me remember that life goes on... blahs or not.
I'll write more after I turn 60... now, that should be interesting, or maybe not, we'll see.
I am adding a section called "A Year with my Life Coach"... check that out.
Chow, my friends.
