In The Waiting Room
Any regular visitors of my blog may notice I post a lot less than I used to.
It’s not a conscious decision, I just don’t seem to have the energy, ideas or motivation recently which really disappoints me.
Take the weekends, we have had pretty good weather for the past several weekends (as far as I remember) but have I done anything much? – no.
Have I done anything at all that I promised myself I'd do as soon as there was some good weather? – no.
Have I even been indulging in one of my most favourite pastimes, taking photos? – no.
I just seem to potter around indoors or online busily doing NOTHING and then before I know it I’m back to work for another week of looking forward to the next weekend which, no doubt I will “waste” just as much as the previous one… Grrrrrrrr!!
I don’t know why I’ve become like this. Is it a kind of depression? A simple case of my job draining every ounce of energy out of me during the week? Is it plain lazyitis?
Whatever it is I do not like it one bit and it makes me feel like I come home from work on the Friday only to sit in the waiting room before returning to work again on the Monday.

I know what you mean...I have been doing things but not as much as I should. When it is cold and winter I always wish for the Summer warmth so I can get out and enjoy it. Yet, I putter around doing nothing.
I think I need to get out and meet real people and also have my hormones checked, I sleep yet I am too tired to do anything.
Lack of ideas or motivation -- I do wonder sometimes where these posting machines that pose as people get all of their energy. I'm doing good to write a post noting that the sun rose today....
I'm that way most of the time, so I know how you feel. How I ended up with THREE blogs I don't know!!!
I have not been blogging a lot either, but I have too much going on right now.
I hope you are not depressed. Maybe you just need a break?
Sometimes I come home from work and I'm so brain dead I can't even think of how to comment on other blogs, let alone come up with interesting blog posts.
So take care of yourself, Lady Banana, and don't worry. We will be here.
It sounds to me like you are just totally drained - probably work. I know get the exact same way. I get to where I come home, cook, clean up, shower and go to bed, always looking forward to the weekend and then I'm so tired I don't do anything fun or productive once it arrives!
I've been on summer break for a few weeks and although I've spent tons of time blogging - it's not a positive thing when it's all we do.
Lately I've been tricking myself - I joined the Krazy Kitchen as a contributor to try to get back to my love of cooking and being creative in the kitchen, and last night I posted a Virtual Vacation contest which will force me to get out of the house to have some fun and shoot some fresh photos.
I hope you find a way to get back in the swing of things soon too! And sorry I wrote more of an entry here than a comment, LOL! :-)
alot of us are feeling this way. i think its the state of the economy has effected peoples moods.
There are days when I don't feel like posting but usually I make myself to stay out of a funk.
I hope if passes.
Sometimes a break is needed, or just slowing down with blogging and letting life happen. Enjoy it while you can!! And don't stress about it.

Im right there with ya too (((hugs))) Xxx
Sounds like you have the blahs. There's only one way to move through it...to push yourself to get out and have fun. Then the endorphins release. I'm sort of working on that too.
It could be a mix of a little bit of everything... do you have a vacation coming up? Sounds like you could use the break to find your mojo again!
Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the simple things. Sounds like that's what your doing thanks for visiting our site.

Yes we all need chill-out time, but I know what its like sometimes to have a weekend that somehow melts away.
Last weekend was like it for me because of my current workload which meant I spent a reasonable chunk of Saturday and Sunday doing 'proper work'.
I drew the line sometime on Sunday though and headed out to have 'done something' which gave me some sense of a break.
Decompression is good.

Yesterday I read an astrology blog that said that the planets are aligned in a way to make everyone a little more in the dumps. It suggested floral scents as a way to ward off the blahs. Of course her description of it all was much more educated sounding LOL I suppose a bouquet couldn't dampen your spirits right ?
I think it's natural to have ups and downs for everyhing... and remember, summer is slow even in the blogging world.
Hope Mabel is on the mend. Take care and never worry about the quantity of your posts; I find it hard to post twice a week and can't imagine how some people post daily!
i think it is a kind of depression. i feel like that sometimes.
simple things like chilling out with a magazine for a couple hours does it for me.
hope you sort something out to pick yourself back up again
Glad to hear your on vacation now. Go ahead! Kick up a bit of dust. (trouble) ;)
I think it's easy to slip into a rut of doing very little. The trouble is that when winter comes we are always sorry that we didn't make the most of the summer months. I think we all do it at some time.
