Ennui Is Me

Don't know if it's life stuff right now or seasonal stuff, but I'm restless, tired and bored all at the same time.

I hate getting out of work when it's almost dark, so the time change could be part of it. I'm having some weird sensation things in my leg and that's making me jumpy. I have work to do AT work, but I have more work to do AT home, where I'd rather be. Xmas decorating time is here and I'm having trouble getting started. [livejournal.com profile] serenejournal is having surgery on Thursday. Another non-LJ friend is having surgery next week for colon cancer that will leave her with a permanent colostomy. Medical stuff depresses me.

I've been cleaning and rearranging the home office (or study as [livejournal.com profile] stonebender calls it) and I came across two items that had me in tears last week. A picture of a ex-coworker with her daughter at one of my xmas parties about 4 years ago. Almost 2 years ago the daughter, at the age of 16 was beaten to death in her home by a schoolmate. The second was a picture postcard I send out in 1999 when our dog Klipper died. It was one of the last pictures I'd taken of him.

Now you can add teary-eyed to restless, tired and bored.

*biggest HUGS* I ran onto the same picture of Clipper a few weeks ago he was such a sweet puppy! Had the same reaction. The time change is messing abit with me too not happy about driving home in the dark. And still driving to work in simi dark.

thanks for the update on our mutual friend's surgery (other than the lovely Serene).

beings that we have loved: a box of pictures will now include more of them as time passes. sigh.
