Ennui

I love that word. Ennui. It captures so perfectly the feelings I have at the moment. It's not really depression, that word's too loaded with additional implications that may or may not require medication. Ennui is weariness and dissatisfaction, precicely what I am suffering from. A dental appointment this morning; gray skies, wind, and rain; a lack of disposable income; the inability to get going on an exercise and healthy diet program; and doubts about my current book are all to blame. In an attempt to cheer, two great photos my husby took while in San Fran.
