FULL OF ENERGY

(neurotic woman, thirtyish)

I need something for energy. My energy level is low— it’s awful, I don’t know what to do anymore, exercise no longer has any effect. I can run a mile every morning, workout at lunchtime, and take dance classes at night, I don’t know what to think—I have no energy. I’d like something for energy, a full dose of energy, please, like in those ads where everything that was gray before becomes colorful: colors and life and zest and youth and sports. Oh, I’m completely exhausted… I need something: drops, pills, a patch, something new; it’s good when things are new, it’s young; something that works immediately, for energy. I also need to get a new skirt—yes, a summer skirt, yes, all my old skirts make me look idiotic, but still I don’t want to deprive myself of wearing one, yes, I probably need some sandals, too, elegant leather sandals that fit well—I need a skirt and sandals for summer. But it’s too hot today and I don’t have the strength. I already missed my dance class yesterday, I don’t know, I felt hollow, I had no bounce, I don’t know what’s going on with me—I’ve got to find something to cure this lack of energy.
