BLAH BLAH BLAH...
I don't care...
Nobody cares...
Who cares...
I'm not in a good place...
I'm not in a good space...
I'm having bad dreams...
My job no longer provides the spark...
Maybe I've lost my edge.
I want to buy a mountain in
New Mexico and two mules...
I'm greatly indifferent...
I just don't care...
Blah...
~shoes~
My friend, it appears your batteries are in need of recharging, an awakening. I've had "blah" feeling days too, it's an icky feeling. Here's to hoping they don't last long.
ReplyDeletePS:
You say "nobody cares"
Not true--- I care!! :)
Hi there, Princess... thank you.
DeleteYes,an awakening, or a recharging... that would be wonderful.
Thank you for caring... :o)
~shoes~
Blah isn't the best way to feel. But feeling blank is even worse.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just have to tell you about when my grandson was little. He talked some and one day he kept saying blah, blah, blah. I asked him why and he said, "Cuz that's what you always say Grandma!" I paid attention to my speech and sure enough.....
Hope you feel better soon. Peace.
Hey you... I'm not sure there is a difference between my 'blah' or your 'blank.' I think they are the same thing.
DeleteWe do have to be careful about how we behave around the little ones, don't we?

You're singing my song, brother. Let me know where in N.M., I'll buy the next mountain over. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have a deal, Max! Of course, you bring your Casino and choice of amps and I'll bring one of my guitars, and we will give the coyotes something to wail about at night...

ReplyDeleteThis got me thinking about the above song/commercial.
Hey remember when in doubt it really just comes down to buying low and selling high, the rest is just fancy calculus!
What a great song! I wasn't aware of this group...
DeleteFancy calculus sucks. Buy low/sell high... look both ways before crossing the street... be careful...
That pretty much sums it up.

I will comment later cuz right now I am on break dealing with a customer that had seizure two days ago and very sick and won't go home. And working with two coworkers who r high on prescription drugs. The dumbasses Can we trade places cuz I am pretty sure u r soaking in tub with a margarita? At least, that is where u should be!!! Feel better. It will get better. Go to Utah!!! Take a vacation
ReplyDeleteStormyDawn and Buttons
I almost went for margaritas tonight, but talked myself out of it. I need to go Westward, but honestly have no idea when I would have time... *sighs*
Delete~shoes~
It's just been building up... I got out of my afternoon class today... and as I was walking into my office suite, one of my colleagues stopped me, and asked if she could ask me a question... I said yes... she wanted to know what was going on with me... am I thinking about retiring... quitting... she said that I seem to have disconnected from the school... from Life...
ReplyDeleteI asked her if it was showing that badly... she said it was... she said that she thought it had been going on for about a year now... *shrugs*
I guess I'm not good at hiding my feelings/emotions...
And so it goes, huh?
Yeah... I need to go out West... Monument Valley... I need to re-charge myself. I just don't know when I will have time to do that.
With the good things that have happened for me this year, it's still been a difficult year.
~shoes~
Mmmm
ReplyDeleteButtons, my 12-year old pup, just put things into perspective for me he laid on my head and burped in my face. How rude!!! I luv that little fella.
On a serious note, Christmas time is coming up. Meaning loads of days off for a Professor Red Shoes. I strongly encourage u to get ur map out. A month or so u said u were buying a new car. Hopefully, u did. Take the road trip. No more excuses!!! It sounds like u have not been there in awhile and what r u waiting on. Life is short. Go where ur spirit soars.
When u come back, rescue a dog!!! They bring u companionship and comfort. A new lease on life. Tonight we r praying and hoping that a 6 month old puppy that was shot in the head pulls through. I am telling u need a living breathing creature to care for and love. U will be amazed at how much a puppy will take blahs out of ur life and put some "aahs" in it life.
Well, Buttons is demanding my attention. I think he wants me to smell his breath again. Maybe, I can get him to walk on my back. I need a massage.
Seriously, Professor I need to go to Utah and get a dog.
Have a blessed Wednesday!!!
When you said your dog, Buttons, put things in perspective, I was sure you were going to say that Buttons just took a dump on the floor.
DeleteThat seems to be most dogs responses to things...
~shoes~
Shoes, I think Stormy has a point you know. Having something or someone to take care of puts a whole new slant on your outlook.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I can understand your disconnection from your work. As you know we both work in the same field and I am familiar with SOME of your issues. Not all of course - I'm not you. I wanted to be in my job until I retire, but I can see stuff happening that makes me want to shrug my shoulders too - and disconnect.
I was off for 9 weeks during the summer, and it took me until the 6th or 7th to feel recharged. Now I'm back, I'm running out of charge very quickly!
Uhhh... there's a little thing in your side bar that says, '...Read This'. Read it.
ReplyDeleteI thought this blog was directed at me! I've been feeling really blah recently and there's really no need for me to feel that way at all. I hope you feel less blah soon!
ReplyDeleteLay off the pot & change the channel off the Looney Tunes.
ReplyDeleteYour motivation will be back in no time.
Thank u Ms. Leah.
ReplyDeleteButtons, my pup, brings me more joy than I can tell anyone about.
Last night or rather early this morning when I attempted to write that last comment he was extraordinarily funny. Sitting in front of me and then on me just cocking his little head looking at me with those big big big puppy eyes.
When I made the suggestion of rescuing a dog, I was serious. Coming home to Buttons and Patches (he passed August 13th) r/were the highlights of my day/evening/night.
Dogs don't disappoint or let down like boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. They r a constant source of affection and unconditional love.
It just sounds like u r needing a boost, a "furever" boost.
Please seriously consider my suggestions. Utah trip in December/January and then to ur local dog pound to visit and see if a pet is what u need in ur life and u might be what a pet needs in ur life.
The little 6 month old puppy that got shot in the head well I am praying and hoping for the best. I waited for several hours for update from my friend. That kind of told me the news was not gonna be great. We r hoping for a miracle. Sigh--
StormyDawn and Buttons
Oops I meant "there might be a pet that needs u too." We all want to be cared and loved. It works both ways too.
ReplyDeleteButtons and I do lots together. Our latest jaunt is going to Elmwood Cemetery. We love it. Soon he will be traveling to Greenwood, MS to visit my relatives there. And we will be headed to Savannah, GA and possibly to NC too.
U could eventually take ur pet with u to Utah as well.
Ok. I've actually got to work now.
I have been in this place. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be deadly honest with you. You have to choose something different. Every day. Sometimes every minute. It might feel like lying to yourself at first. But it will become the truth.
Here's how it is for me. When I am feeling the worst, I can cycle around in that for a long time. I know because I have done it. One really bad migraine feeds on itself. So, I have to literally trick my brain.
It starts with waking up and telling myself that I love today. Mind you, I feel Godawful. Terrible. But I keep telling myself that I love today. And I start listing all of the things that I appreciate. From the major to the most minor. And I do this every day until I feel better.
And then I keep doing it. Why? Because it feels good. It feels good to wake up and say very first thing: I love today. And then start on my list out loud.
It's the only cure for the Blahs that I know. It's why I love the song "Love Today" by Mika. Give it a listen. I have posted it on my blog before but you may have missed it. It's very pop, but very happy. The Blahs just can't stand up to it. Even they smile. Love love me. Love love me.
I was thinking the same thing as your college maybe it IS time to retire!
ReplyDeletexoxo
ReplyDeleteThe moody blues happen, unfortunately they happen often. I hope that they won't stay with you long. A change of scenery could definitely help.
ReplyDeleteIf that doesn't ring a bell, I don't know what does. The spark's gone, I hear you, Shoes. Maybe for a while, maybe forever. I've been unhappy in my job for a long time now and every day I find myself thinking I should do something completely different. But when you're 42 like myself, you know your chances at finding a completely different job that pays equally well are pretty slim. There are bills to be paid. I know, the blah blah stuff. Whenever I'm down, I choose one of my 400 or so Elvis records and listen to his songs until there's that smile on my grumpy face again. No, not Old MacDonald Had a Farm.... ;)
ReplyDeleteGood evening. I found you on Robin's blog. This is interesting stuff. I haven't figured it out yet, but it is interesting. I agree with Steven Cain, and I NEVER get the blahs.
ReplyDeleteI am now your newest follower, and I invite you to follow my blog as well.
Hang in there, my friend!
ReplyDeleteAll right man... time to let us know you're okay... by that, I mean alive.
ReplyDeleteshoes,shoes, shoes, shoes...... congratulations you're going to NOLA! come on, this is the kick in the ass that you need. you missed burning man but you're NOT missing VooDoo and madness and mayhem. Oh BOY!!!
ReplyDeleteProfessor Red Shoes
ReplyDeleteU r so funny at times. Ur comment about dogs taking a dump.
People "dump" on me but Buttons never.
We went walking in Elmwood Cemetery yesterday and just a short while ago. I am afraid I have sore throat and recovering from migraine yesterday evening. I took hot bath last night with candle glowing, a hot toddy and a popsicle plus Buttons with his head resting on the side of tub. I only bathed with my dog once Patches the morning he passed. He could no longer support his body weight and had been expressing a fluid of of his mouth which got the top of his body yucky and I knew he was not comfortable but I knew he would be unable to handle being in tub by himself. Oh I miss that puppy so much.
I guess u r still feeling blah. U said u get quiet and keep to urself when not feeling well.
I am going to be having yet another confrontation with my supervisor Monday. A few detectives told me Friday they put her in her place. It sucks having a power hungry supervisor. Another unit came to see me and asked if I would transfer to their department. I agreed. Now my Chief and Captain have to release me. I fear they will block me again. Blah!!!
Well gonna take a nap then try to head out to see the movie, Killer Joe and go eat pancakes somewhere. I am in the mood for pancakes. Also, I need to stop and puck up roses for my work week. Maybe I can meditate on them and keep calm at work. What I would like to do is put my supervisor in her place. She is a pain in the bum.
Take care. Buttons and I send u happy thoughts. Ruff ruff.
StormyDawn and Buttons
I was there a few weeks ago but I did something totally different...forced myself to change almost everything, including my diet and wardrobe. Sometimes we just need to mix it up a little and it's not easy getting out of that funk. Sorry you're in that place but you WILL get out of it. Hugs from Miami... ♥
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, I booked you a room and bought your VOODOO ticket. I also got you a cool costume to wear. Are you okay dressing as Dorthy from the wizard of Oz? I wasn't sure of your shoe size so I got size 11. I was sticking with the red shoes theme (aren't I clever). Now, regarding the waist - we can let it out if need be. No need to go on a diet. And I also made you an appointment to have your legs waxed. It's not as painful as it sounds. I promise to hold your hand. So it would be nice if you emailed me a thank you note. A week with no word from Shoe's SUCKS. MonkeyLOVE, (the best kind!) ME
ReplyDeleteHey, Monkey... if I were to show up dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ, I'd probably be haunted by Flying Monkeys...
DeleteHmmm... is there such a thing as Green Flying Monkeys??
;o)
~shoes~
Too cute Green Monkey. I have a friend going to the VooDoo Fest too. He promised he would pick me up a VooDoo doll. He said I already know what I am getting u. I might just use that VooDoo doll too. Lately, I'm having Pink's "Having a Shit Day" week. I've read ur posts but for some reason I can't post a comment. I'm sorry about all the surgeries u had to experience lately. But u look awesome. The Burning Man trip obviously did u a lot of good. Take care luv. I hope Professor Red Shoes comments soon and let's us know how he is doing. "I'm alive" would be great. I hope he shows up in New Orleans. I'm sure u and Mark are a lovely fun couple. Take care my luv.
ReplyDeleteProfessor Red Shoes--hoping u are still with us. I hope that u will go to New Orleans with Green Monkey.
Take care both of u.
Maybe u r in Utah. Maybe it is fall break.
ReplyDeleteWe had straight line winds come thru downtown/midtown Memphis Friday at 7:30 p.m. Buttons and I slept thru it all. Really we slept from 4 p.m. Friday till 4 p.m. Saturday. Yep 24 hours. I have been under the weather earache, sore throat, and Friday I had pink eye. However, I do not feel bad. I am just contagious and tired.
Sunday I took Buttons to cemetery for our walk and then came home and stayed in bed all day again.
Monday I should be in Director's Office and she will tell me when I officially get to transfer. Freedom from the beyotch is coming soon.
Not much else is new. Other than this is my favorite month. I am enjoying this weather like crazy. Pumpkins, fire places, and yummy food and hot drinks.
Well, u know we r all wondering if u r ok? Drop us a message if u can just to let us know u still read our comments.
I had hell week last week at day job. I just love being toyed with. Fortunately, someone up high cares about me.
Take care. Sending positive thoughts and prayers ur way.
I'd let Buttons come visit u but that would depress me so.
Have u gone by the dog pound to see if there is a special doggie that needs u? I hope so.
Nite nite from Memphis
Nope... if I do any dog adopting, I will select him/her myself.
DeleteI like dogs... it's just that I don't have anyone to take care of it should I be out of town.
~shoes~
P.S. That puppy that got shot in the head is doing fabulous. He lost his eye. He still looks great. He has a story to tell. The dog lovers of Memphis really came through with prayers and donations for his vet bills. He has loving doggie parents. If u want to see inspirational stories read "The Savior Foundation out of Memphis, TN.". Savior is the inspiration for this foundation. Savior was a pit bull bait dog thrown out on the Interstate during rush hour at 70 mph. Even in her condition she hit the road on her feet running. Mario Chiozza our local dog hero was on the Interstate right behind them. Read a miracle rescue. U will not believe God did not have a hand in this event at all. I liken puppy abuse stories to people too. U can live and nurture some living breathing creature back from an abused situation. Please take the time to read about Savior and BJ, the puppy shot in the head. The photos r graphic but the ending pictures r the best.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't mean to imply that I would pick ur dog out for u.
ReplyDeleteI just thought a dog would be good company.
:(
