Slog

So far, this has been one of those "just trudging through" kinds of weeks.

I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open in Hebrew Scriptures class on Monday night. Despite the great start, I no longer enjoy it much. Monday's three hours were agony.

Yesterday at work as ok, but the day seemed very long, and I took little to no satisfaction from anything. It was one chore after another.

rocket_jockey came over last night for Chinese food and a movie, and I was too worn out to be very good company. He wasn't in much better state. We watched Captain Blood and just vegged out.

The Child and I finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night after RJ went home. I had been only moderately interested in the books until we hit the climax of this one, and then we started reading two - or even three - chapters a night. Unfortunately, they do not make great bedtime reading for a little girl with an active imagination, so she has been sleeping in my bed the last few nights. And the last two nights I woke up frequently, in part because of her presence, so that hasn't helped my fatigue level.

I feel tired and gray. Not depressed. But what I would most like to do right now is go back to sleep, then get up, do the dishes I did not do last night, and then spend a lot of the day reading a good book while curled up on my comfy couch.

Donations to the "Brighten QoS's Day" box -- in the form of cheerful, funny, or complimentary entries in the Comments section. . . or interesting questions to engage my mind during the work day (since I can read the email notifications of Comments Left even if I can't access LJ at work) would be welcome.

Pretty please?
