I have been feeling:
sad
depressed
anger
un-happy
joy-less
overwhelmed
Seems like it is going around. The word that I like the best to describe my mood is “Melancholy”. Isn’t that a great word:
Sadness or depression of the spirits; gloom: “There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass” (Charles Kuralt).
Pensive reflection or contemplation.
Archaic.
Black bile.
An emotional state characterized by sullenness and outbreaks of violent anger, believed to arise from black bile.adj.
Affected with or marked by depression of the spirits; sad. See Synonyms at sad.
Tending to promote sadness or gloom: a letter with some melancholy news.
Pensive; thoughtful.
I have not had any sudden outbursts of anger. That would take too much energy. And, as far as I know, no black bile. But one never knows.
I do have to go to the doctors this afternoon for my buttock issue. It is starting to hurt more than it should and I won’t go into the gross details, but I will say it fucking sucks!
We are in a temporary cash crunch (again, this fucking sucks). We were supposed to get a Nor’easter tomorrow and now it is going out to sea.
Honestly, if I have to live in the Northeast I want snow. I can’t even snowshoe.
My mother called last nite to share some news. My niece went skiing w. her class and one of her classmates hit their head on a rock and died. Yep, this fucking sucks in a major way. It is so sad he was like 15 or 16 years old. He was not wearing a helmet.
So todays words of the day are MELANCHOLY and FUCKING SUCKS!
My coffee is bliss……





That DOES in fact suck — and we haven’t had more than a dusting all season. Today? 65 degrees. Global warming what?
“Malaise” is one of my favorites…hope you feel better!
Hi Nancy - What a yucky day. Sucks is right. Melancholy is a great word but hope tomorrow is better.
