what the hell.
maybe it's about turning 50, maybe it's about work, maybe i need a new dog or a fancy sweater, several days off or some cake.
i am not liking this slump. being in a slump used to conjure images of late night piles of blankets and television, justified apathy and comfortable messiness. after all who can do laundry, dust, or put stuff away when you are in a slump?
but this one feels uncomfortable and fat. like the pants that are too tight after the holidays or the depressing light in the kitchen when the bulb over the sink goes out.
something is not right about this slump all right, but the wrongness of all it brings up is worse than the not right part. i am not enjoying this slump at all. it is definitely not what they described in the flyer.
FREE SLUMP!

- join now and receive ceaselss encouragement to eat as much of anything you want all the time.
- call in the next five minutes and we will call in sick to work for you every day for as long as the slump continues.

now seriously,
who could resist that?

You are just like me. I handle slumps by making fun of myself and indulging myself. A little bit of babying, a little bit of self-mocking, these are the things that get me through.
