Word of the Week -Apathy

 

In contrast to my last word of the week,I have felt rather disinterested in doing anything this half of the month but sitting watching Youtube or Netflix. It is not normally like me as I like to feel like I am being productive most of the time. I haven’t read for pleasure and I have only completed one craft project and that was only because it is a gift for Mother’s Day. I have had ideas for blog posts and then not written them. The only thing I have managed to do consistently is cleaning. This is normally pushed down the list of priorities when I am in a creative frame of mind so I suppose it isn’t a bad thing.

 I have also had a really bad cold that floored me for a week including spending a day in bed and a day lying on the sofa. It wasn’t Covid as all the tests I did came back negative. I have never had a cold that bad. Normally I can just push through it and get things done and although I tried this time I just couldn’t. I had to have three days off work because I felt so ill.

 I know this feeling is only temporary and I will soon be back to my normal self. It is only because at the moment things have been quiet in work and I have had to drag some of my tasks out to fill the day. I like to be busy in work, not to the point where I am snowed under with work but enough to keep me ticking over and the day is filled. I like to be under a certain amount of pressure as I get more done both at home and at work. When I am quiet in work I find that I do less at home because I feel more tired due to a bit of boredom. That is going to change in the next couple of weeks once I get a new project to work on.

 I can already feel that things are starting to improve with the fact that I have written and published this post. I have also completed a scrapbook /journaling project that was outstanding from the end of last year and I am looking to make a pair of pyjama bottoms this weekend.
