It has been awhile since I wrote a more “personal” / daily life kinda post, so this is much overdue. Unfortunately it’ll probably come across as blah as I feel. Today has just been “one of those days” and not just any “one of” but a real gloomy, not at all feeling it (it being just about anything and everything) kind of day. Have you been there?
My house is in a state of what I consider shambles. Kitchen needs some attention, dishes to be done, laundry to be washed, general straightening up needed, but I can’t even talk myself into caring.
It could be the weather. We had a harsh January winter and February isn’t looking much better. I know there’s harsh winter going on everywhere, but for Florida it just isn’t how we do the winter months. February is our “winter” and we usually suffer through several days or so each year of a harsh, cold freeze. We aren’t known as “The Sunshine State” for nothing, but it was nowhere to be found today. So, maybe the overall, non-typical gloominess of today played a part in this overwhelming blah feeling today.
Perhaps a poor night’s sleep could have lended to it as well. I went to sleep at a decent time for me, but was awakened by the little guy during the wee hours. Technically hubs unconsciously nudged me because of the little guy calling out for me, which meant I was really out cold because I tend to stir at any whimper he may make. After waking to discover he was still asleep, I couldn’t go back to sleep for a couple or so hours.
And there’s a chance that my Dad going to the ER yesterday and currently being in ICU (should be moved to non-ICU room tomorrow though) may be weighing on my mind and heart even more than I realize.
We went outside this afternoon for some fresh air (mainly wanted to let Lil Roo run wide open and burn off some energy, lol) and even that didn’t shake me out of this. Hopefully it passes during the night and tomorrow I can wake with a better perspective, some energy, and shaken from these blahs.

i have had my own case of the “blahs” lately too. i am blaming it on the weather. i am in PA and we have had way too many cold/snowy days where my sone & i can’t get outside. so that makes for an unhappy boy which leads to an unhappy mom.
i lay in bed a lot with what i like to call “restless mind syndrome”.
here is to hoping the feeling goes away!
