Michelangelo sibyl from the Sistine Chapel

 

just passing the time

Despite having a list of over two dozen things that I wanted to get done this week, I did almost nothing productive today. Oh, every so often I would look at the list on the refrigerator, but it didn't make any difference. The fact that my weekend was winding down wasn't much of an incentive to do anything either. A part of me was content to simply just vegetate. In fact I didn't even leave the house until I had to go to work. Somehow I managed to let the entire day pass me by and it really didn't bother me either.

Maybe it was the windchill outside that made it so easy to just shuffle back and forth between the computer and the couch. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't speak to one person all day that made me so lethargic. Maybe it was the lack of human contact that made me feel so out of it. Maybe I just needed some quiet time to be by myself and think. I don't know.

It wasn't as though I had any grand personal insights that I wanted to mull over. Nor was I depressed all day. I guess the best way to describe the mood would be an odd detached feeling, which changed the minute I got to work. Suddenly I came to life again and couldn't stop talking.
