the doldrums
a. A condition of dullness or drowsiness; dumps, low spirits, depression.
b. The condition of a ship in which, either from calms, or from baffling winds, she makes no headway; a becalmed state.
c. An intellectually non-plussed condition.
Sigh.
Currently becalmed in an intellectually non-plussed condition.
Please send inspiration ... or Skittles. I like Skittles.

Hmmm, inspiration? I'll try.
"Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length."-- Robert Frost
Or maybe a story about a family of Wallabies vacationing in Detroit and the hijinks that ensue?
I am there with ya, let's fill up on Skittles
Skittles. yes we all need a little.
What is it about the dog days of summer that depress?
I'll give you Skittles if you give me Sprees.
Maybe you're just hot. (I know that always takes away my will to do anything.) Try looking at a picture of a glacier. Or have a snow-cone.
Or, you could picture how cold you were this past winter, and be glad you are not shoveling snow and chipping ice from your windshield. (I've been attempting to do this one all week...)
luckily the weather has been so temperate and reasonable lately, so at least you don't have to contend with that... *eyeroll*
i don't know about inspiration, or skittles, but what about hugs from toronto?
Perplexio - Wallaby hijinks? Count me in!
CD - I knew you were a woman of discerning taste!
Wordo - Heat and humidity always make me listless. The real problem is that I have no time in which to indulge my listlessness.
Susan - I don't think Sprees are available in Canada, but they sound very similar to our Zingy Zaps - a hard shell candy with a tart chalky-chewy centre. Whatever you call 'em, they're also one of my all-time fav candies.
Manja - Well, it's not Skittles but a hug's pretty swell too ... especially a virtual hug which does not require the actual exchange of body heat. (I'm told we're going to be around 46C today - that's 115F - with the humidex. Whee-la!)
Well, they're not skittles, or even close really, but I posted some textured ditties just for you.....I hope they put a smile on your face and an itch in your hands......xoxo
Intellectually non-plussed conditions are a good way of gaining strength from time to time. Just let the heat and laziness of August wash over you for now.
