slooping
(Verb)
The act of existing in a cozy, semi-conscious, low-energy state where productivity has been temporarily suspended, usually due to illness, medication, exhaustion, or pure emotional
burnout. Characterized by blankets,
box fans, DayQuil, scrolling, zoning out, and being awake enough to think but not enough to care.
Often mistaken for laziness. It is not laziness. It is a state.
