Malaise

Malaise: 2. a vague sense of mental or moral ill-being

Yesterday's word was "malaise" but I felt to icky to post it. August is HOT where I live. And humid. And it is, of course, the humidity that will kill you. Has anyone ever told you that? Of course they have. It's true. This was not helped by the fact that the air conditioning at work was broken. We left at 4 after a day of moving and thinking very, very slowly in the general malaise that is August.

I came home and had dinner and some cold white wine and felt better. I did not, in fact, go to Office Max and I didn't buy another book at Borders even though I had a 33% off coupon. Either my self-control is getting better or it's too damn hot even for consumerism. I'm hoping it's the self control. I think a heat that can conquer capitalism is one of the first signs of the apocalypse. Burn, baby, burn!
