Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons
memories of melancholia
bury my passion to exist
the thick of fog blurs my mind
I am my own puppet
yet without control
my hard-spent days
a riddle
of the
past

In the moment 
Stale air 
I feel like this perfectly describes a lot of my recent days.

Oh, I hope your days get better. I’ve had days like this moreso when I was employed. Retiring was a blessing. 😉

Just getting away from a place of employment is a blessing.

Thank you, Eugenia! Work can definitely suck the life out of you. I am very fortunate that I love my job and am (most days) very happy with it. It probably helps that I’m only part time too! Enjoy your retirement!!
