blah [blah] -noun
1. the blahs, a feeling of physical uneasiness, general discomfort, or mild depression: After the long weekend many workers had the Monday-morning blahs.
Looking out the window at an overcast sky…showers in the forecast for today, rain to wintry mix tonight. D left for work a while ago; the kids are still sleeping, off school because of the holiday. And I feel like a grey, blah funk. I’m not depressed or even down, not upset about anything in particular. Zero motivation even though I have things to do today, and not all of them are chores or housework. Not being able to pinpoint the cause is frustrating in itself.
Totally unrelated since it just crossed my mind but a year ago today was the accident. C and N were walking to the store to buy candy and were hit by a car while crossing a main street. In addition to cuts, scrapes, and bruises C ended up with a concussion and an overnight hospital stay for observation because of her heart; N’s ankle was broken. Odd the things that come to mind when in an odd mood…
Reminds me of an old English word– mubble-fubbles. You have the mubble-fubbles: feeling out-of-sorts for no good reason.
Hope it passes soon!
Oh, excellent word for it, thanks!
If only I could find a way to motivate us both!
Did a 20 mile drive with my two oldest daughters to do some shopping…getting out of the house helped a bit 🙂
I’d say the feeling was caused by the memory – even deep down. Terrifying. So glad all is well now. Hope you’re out & about – or, better yet, staying in and enjoying some time together. Scrabble is always good!
It really could be…I had nightmares for months about the phone call I received from the driver of the car…
I can definitely understand the odd mood… Mondays are good for that. Today in the Northeast, it is President’s day which is a holiday for most of us so I was able to spend some much needed time away from work and then time with my spouse. 🙂 Sorry yours was so blah
Thanks. I think it was a combination of things. The shopping trip with the girls and going out for Trivia Night both helped…maybe I just needed a change of scenery.
