If I do have a moment to spare there is always a reading queue awaiting me.

Or a nap. I fucking love naps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My wife just suggested I should take a few days off work to specially not be productive.

You should totally do that!

Our wings are not tired.

but I can easily bring myself to do a quick, quarter-ass job cleaning dishes and let the dishwasher finish the job.

I do this too. Rinse and toss in the dishwasher. If only my family could understand this process the kitchen would look much better.

Hey tommyrot, if you are around the recruiter I had coffee with would like to see your resume for a permanent position she hasn't posted yet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am, btw, one of the laziest people I know. Maybe all my friends and colleagues are over achievers? And that includes all y'all who are constantly getting tons of stuff done and cultivating yourselves and your gifts.

It me. I literally have a hard time figuring out what is a sign of depression in me and what is just my usual disinclination to do anything.

Yeah. I have seen un-rinsed dishes go in and come out clean, but I just can't do it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My wife just suggested I should take a few days off work to specially not be productive.

Your wife has a point, although I think to truly enjoy those days off, you should also give yourself permission to not be especially productive around the house, either. Just time to recharge and reboot.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

OH MY GOD. This entirely me.

We are alike, Dana. Sometimes I think I'm really depressed and need to get it treated, and other times I think I've always been like this and it's just me.

t me. I literally have a hard time figuring out what is a sign of depression in me and what is just my usual disinclination to do anything.

Yep yep yep. I mean, I feel like even with no commute and no kids, I barely get shit done and instead spend too much time reading or on the internet. But at my dad's 70th birthday party some relatives were talking about some genetic predisposition to something (hearing loss with aging or something) and came around to "well, [our last name] are lazy. Smart but lazy". So apparently its familial, to use the smarts to be more lazy!
