Isn’t it amazing how in the thick of some of the busiest times in our lives, it’s ever so easy to be bored beyond belief? The hubs and I jokingly refer to this as the “malaise” (or the more articulate construction, “I’m feeling ma-lazy”) - we’ll have plenty to do, but none of it compels us into action. If I’m going to shake myself out of the doldrums, it better be for something good. Like ply myself with a potent potable kind of good.
