My mood plunged on Wednesday. I left work early, feeling put-upon and depleted. I’m not sure why, since work is almost always too much and not enough, but all of a sudden it felt insupportable.
Maybe the darkness of the season tipped the balance.
I took the next day off, and then, still feeling low, today. I intend to go back tomorrow. Saturdays are more relaxed—hopefully my mood will reset.
In the meantime, I’m cheered by Lytton Strachey poking sharp sticks into eminent Victorians. Here, on the “licensed barbarism” of Eton in the early 1800s:
“Dr. Arnold”, Eminent Victorians, by Lytton Strachey, 1918.
I loved this book!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a relaxed Saturday.
TORORO: I am loving it too—it makes me literally laugh out loud!
