Wērigmōd
That is perhaps one of the best ways to describe how I've been the last... long time. "Wērig" means weary/tired, and "mōd" is Old English for... a wide variety of things. If you have more than a passing familiarity with Japanese, think of it as akin to "kokoro" - if not, I shall try to explain. Mind, heart, thoughts, soul... all of those can and do fall under the term "mōd." I guess in English we'd say "bone-weary" or "sick at heart." Nonetheless, that is how I have been.
My mind has been fog-bound - I cannot remember the last time I actually sat down and THOUGHT. Actively thought for more than a handful of minutes before getting tired or wērigmōd or distracted. I haven't kept up in my languages, and I keep on meaning to... but the wērigmōd strikes and steals all of my motivation and energy.
Does anyone have any cures for wērigmōd? I could use some help.
And now, like a small spot of light trying to shine through the grey foggy expanse, I am trying to write a new cover letter for another translation job in Houston. Wish me luck.
