Gravitational pull of lethargy

It is one of those days when I cannot seem to feel anything. It feels like my body has found sudden affinity for gravity and is pulling me down and inside the core of the Earth. I’m not depressed or low even. The fact is that I am actually thrilled to know how at an important international publishing conference my boss spoke highly of my contribution and even had my photo shown on the screen. It means a lot to know that my work is being acknowledged especially when the person from whom I was supposed to learn the trade was fired 10 days after I joined and I had to figure out everything with little help from others. No I am happy and yet I cannot feel the lightness of joy right now.

It seems that all women around are feeling the same. My female colleagues are feeling the lethargy right to their bones. All of have spoken of taking a day of at work at one point or another. God knows what the matter is with all of us. I was thinking that it might have something to do with planetary positions (being an astrologer, it’s usually my first thought) but now I’m considering the possibility that there may be some virus that’s affecting anyone with XX chromosome (that’s the imaginative part of me thinking so).

However, this day is perfect to hold my big lovable Cookie and sleep off the lethargy…
