I think I am on a brief hiatus. I think I am not feeling creative. I think I have nothing to write today. The mind is tired, the body logy. I started to write a blog yesterday and it is still in draft format. I just can't seem to get back to it.
I think it is the weather. Reports are that it is unseasonably hot in the midwest, southwest and northeast of the US. Here in So Cal it is cool and cloudy, June gloom in full bloom. I am very susceptible to the influences of atmospheric pressures and temperature fluctuations. And I wake with the sun and begin to fade with sunset. Yet I do like this weather and often think I should be living in the northwest rather than her on the edge of the dessert.
I think I have what my dear auntie would have called the epizootic. This is defined in Merriam's as a bug or disease moving through animals of a similar species. My aunt said it was when you are feeling off for no particular reason and that word just fits the feeling. So I am claiming it to describe my general lack of motivation right now to do what I should/could/would like to do.
There is a lesson here, though. Obviously I am doing what I wasn't inclined to do today. Notice? Yep, I am writing a blog about not writing a blog thereby writing the blog. I love it when I trick myself like this. I do know that sometimes when I don't feel like doing something, the best thing is to just start and somehow the motivation follows. Turn it over to the Higher Power and the great HP will take care of it, or something like that.
So here you go. There you have it. All that falderal. Nothing like giving in to a foolish foolish trifle to find you actually have something to say. So no, I guess I am not on hiatus afterall. The epizootics have evaporated. Now I need to go back a finish yesterday's blog. Wait until you see what it was about!
