FIGURESJust wasn't feeling a blog post today - couldn't get anything going, didn't care, didn't care that I didn't care. Wasted some time by checking my dashboard widget for the word of the day. Wouldn't you just know it: Apathy.

Dictionary.com's word of the day is:
bumptious \BUMP-shuhs\, adjective:
Crudely, presumptuously, or loudly self-assertive.
... which is actually kind of apt for me today, too, if you swirl in a huge dose of anxious and a generous dollop of hand wringing.
Too funny.... hope the apathy doesn't last too long.
No accidents! Hope it's a transient word for you.
Who cares?
In college we had a calender that had National Apathy Day. We spent all day saying, "Happy Apathy Day!" "Aw, who cares." lol (I miss college.)
From the universe to you, huh?
You are amazing.
My 7 Habits calendar has been "kicking my butt" daily with it's oh so pertinent to my state of being wisdom! Sometimes, I sit there stunned at how apropos the message is for me that day.
I hope the apathy doesn't last long.
Sounds like a bit of rest is in order. I love how you can turn nothing into something interesting that makes me laugh (or cry).
