Lethargy….
Good old reliable Webster’s tags it as that “quality or state of being lazy, sluggish, or indifferent.” I say, as it applies to me, that I would call it a reaction to events, of sorts, or perhaps a seven year itch that is too bothersome to scratch. Or, in that ironic parlay of those decades younger that I, whatever, insert shrug here.

But it isn’t the first part because I’m certainly not lazy, although to some people, including a few of my former clients; it just might appear that way. It could very well be the second part, being sluggish because lord almighty, it seems as if every day feels like I am full of sludge before I even drag myself out of bed.

And so I think that the part that applies to me is also, I imagine the bane of people dealing with a chronic disease everywhere and that is resigned indifference.

1. And a good one it is, this lethargy of yours...
You must know that many of us want you to keep on fighting, keep on living...

You may certainly be indifferent...To do that, you must live.

2. Oh I want to keep fighting...
It's just that this stretch of ill health is driving me crazy...

Perhaps I was fooling myself over the past 6.5 years and thinking that I could keep up my exercising and other activity.

I guess I am wrong.
