when do you know that the problem is you?

I don't know what it is but I just feel this general sense of malaise right now....Post-quarterlife-crisis blues? (I'm more than halfway to my next birthday - even though, technically, I am no longer celebrating such things. Or at least that's what I swore last December.) End of summer doldrums? (There's so much I didn't get done this summer - I blame it all on the damn house). Not-going-back-to-school wistfulness? (It felt strange going to Target the other day with no need to buy new notebooks, pens and folders. I bought some anyway, of course). Who knows, it's just there...Kind of heavy, making me queasy.

Also, watching the news about Louisiana just makes me anxious and worried - and I don't even know anyone who lives there. Reading stories about looters taking advantage of the situation just makes me ill.

Anyway, tonight is finally the State Fair date. Maybe that'll help me shake this feeling off. Nothing like fried food, bright midway lights and baby animals to cheer me up.

Hopefully.
