Feeling blah............

I can't seem to find the correct word to describe how I am doing on this How Am I Doin' Friday.
Maybe maudlin is the word.
 The dictionary defines maudlin as: tearfully or weakly emotional; foolishly sentimental.
I think it's pretty close (except for the tearfully part!).
Early this morning, in the darkness just before dawn, my thoughts swirled around the vast number of people who I haven't connected with or heard from in what seems like eons.
These people are scattered all across the country, no the world. They are in California and Florida and Israel and North Carolina and South Carolina and Arizona and Pennsylvania and Michigan and Maine and Australia and the U.K. and every where else one can imagine.
I miss hearing from all of them.
Tonight,our Shabbat dinner will be much smaller than usual. A number of our regulars have other plans  making for what one might call a much more intimate occasion.
Today my work space seems lonely. Just me,which is normal,however today it just seems lonelier.
The phones are kind of quiet. Looking ahead to the weekend, other than filling in as the bather at the shop, there are no plans.
I am on day 26 of my current 40 day cycle. his is just around the time when the program gets a little bit tedious. The end is still 2 weeks away. The weight loss definitely has slowed down and the food options have become just a little bit less than attractive, particularly in the cold weather.
Not having made it to the gym in a while is certainly playing a part in this.
That was probably an aha!statement!
It may be time for me to figure out how I can make some time in my schedule to get that back on track.
Any how....it's lunch time and there is not a stitch of protein for me to eat in the house, so I am off to the grocery store.
I'll pick up the rest of the fixin' for diner (I already have 3 side dishes going) and then get back to work. 
Maybe getting out for a bit will help to perk me up.
And maybe after I send this out some one might decide to reach out and say hello!
Ya never know!
Shabbat Shalom!
