Hebetude!

My new word for the day!

Meaning: Mental dullness or sluggishness.

Which is precisely how I am feeling and have felt all day. Since I woke up this morning in fact.

I think it is a rather apt word, when someone asks you how you are , I'm hebetude, thanks!
Even the sound of the word just brings across the feeling of 'what was that?' or, as if you have a cold and your nose is blocked. Well, I don't have a cold, my nose isn't blocked, but Bean's is.

Shes not been right now since Saturday and the snot just keeps on coming, like little rivulets from each nostril. Not the nicest vision I know, but yesterday, the top I was wearing was covered in silver streaks from where her nose had wiped itself upon me. Cant say I enjoy the silver slime upon me, but what else can I do?

As for me, I am full of hebetude. My brain has been in non function day, I forgot the most easiest of things, like taking something out of the freezer for supper! (Lucky me, The Man has gone to get us take out, oh and some chocolate - after reading Shayne's post, the desire for chocolate hit me hard and the day was just not conducive to remembering to go and get some, think it would make more of a hit on my brain radar considering the desire, but alas, no)

Bean is now in bed, I am now in bed (awaiting supper) and then it will be back to bed and sleep! I crave sleep at the moment, have no idea why, just have this most exhausting tiredness in me, where I could lay down and sleep at any moment. So, tonight I aim to get to bed early, 8pm at the latest, try and get a really good nights sleep in and hopefully no strange dreams to keep me company. I am also thinking that it could very well be the dreams which are making me feel so tired. They have been extremely odd these last few nights but ask me to remember them? Brain not quite that desperate enough for that. But maybe that's it, dream work happening which is leaving me exhausted when I wake up. Has happened to me before, though not really sure why now. Not too much of import happening right now, or maybe its the calm before the storm... Who knows, hey?!

Anyhoo, so I dedicate this word to all who have that mental sluggishness happening and hope that it relieves itself from your head soon, just as I hope it will leave me soon too.
