I make it seven ...

1. paralysis     (weekend bender)
2. torpor        (lawn needs mowing / roof leaks)
3. lethargy      (9-5 weekdays)
4. wide alert    (whiff of barbie smoke)
5. full arousal  (tv lotto draw)
6. exuberance    (footie team almost scores)
7. blind fury    (beer's run out)

Wonder what she thinks the eighth state is??
