Ennui Redux

I wrote in an earlier post that I’ve been suffering from ennui. A colleague found a good definition for the word “ennui”, but I can’t remember where she got it; in any event, here is the definition she found:

ennui

a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom

I had earlier theorized that my ennui might be caused by the time of year, or maybe because my relative was in the hospital. I now have another theory: maybe it’s because I’m cutting coffee out of my diet. I still drink coffee—a lot of coffee—but I’ve switched to decaf.

I probably should have thought of this earlier, but I didn’t. And I have a theory as to why I didn’t think of it earlier: I’ve cut coffee out of my diet. I still drink coffee—a lot of coffee—but I’ve switched to decaf. So that’s a possible reason as to why my mind might not have been as sharp as it should have been, when I wrote that earlier post. (I think I may also have started repeating myself, from time to time…)
