#417 ennui

ennui- a feeling of listlessness and general dissatisfaction resulting from lack of activity or excitement

C18 from French apathy, from Old French enui annoyance, vexation

It's like all the empty time is both a blessing and a curse, and some years I've had a severe kind of ennui that lasts for weeks.
