Michelangelo sibyl from the Sistine Chapel

 

neutral emotion

So here I sit looking at the blank screen trying to think of some words to write. Trying to think of some way to describe my day or some of what I was thinking for parts of it. Maybe I could mention something that I saw that struck me as interesting. Maybe something happened that was unusual or broke the normal routine. Maybe I learned something new about myself or the world that shapes me.

Perhaps I could mention that I caught a glimpse of the Leonid meteor shower, but I didn't. Even though I am awake at the right time, I'm not in the right spot for viewing. Where I work there is too much light pollution to see anything.

To be blunt all that I did after work this morning was laundry and then slept the best that I have in days. It was the first chunk of sleep that wasn't altered by cold medicine or the cold itself. I could burrow under blankets and just fall away from everything not that I have anything to escape. It just felt really good to sleep.

Maybe this sounds as though I am bored or depressed, but neither of those would be right. I just seem to be neutral, if a person can indeed be neutral. Does a person have to be in some definitive kind of emotional state?
