Are You As Bored As I Am?

mothernature · 28-09-2008, 23:21

Does anyone else suffer with boredom the way I do. I have lots of hobbies which are very diverse and I'm still bored out of my head. Any suggestions for a new hobby or diversion. I'm banging my head on the wall with frustration. Some of the things I've done today are: Baking, Painting, Reading a full book, Writing Poetry, Repairing jewellery, De-fleaing the cat & dog, playing poker & online games, watching my other half play poker, updating Facebook, being on here sticking my penny in and cleaning the house/yard. Even the pigeons are complaining because the kitchen roof is too clean.

I love gardening, just my arm won't do it. Blasted nuisance really. I have a rescue poodle who likes nothing better than digging holes in soil though

We've already got 2 cats who could probably give your poodle a run for his money with digging

Ooh you haven't met a poodle like this one. Stupid thing thinks he's a cat. Copies everything my cat does right down to using the litter tray. That's the problem of rescuing nuerotic animals and I've rescued loads over the years.

I am unable to get out much these days but I'm never bored, I find plenty of things to occupy me from the internet to crosswords, reading, TV ect

This is a serious answer .... GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!
Swap all those activities (I wouldnt call de-fleaing the cat a hobby) and swap them for one thing that gets you out of the hosue and your problem will be solved

That sounds like good advice to me.

As long as it is fine in the morning I intend to cut some grass in the park. I might even do my own lawn first

It wasn't de-fleaing as such. I just like to go through his fur and he loves it and I certainly get immense satisfaction from feeling his fur. I do get out of the house (neighbours and I regularly play card & board games), but I still feel bored. Must admit I don't sleep very long (4 hours average) so I have to do lots of things. My mind is far too active I think.

If your that bored why dont you get a job.

If this problem continues into winter, may I suggest shovelling snow out of my driveway. Good exercise, lots of (very) fresh air, and when you finish, the snowplow burns by and fills it in again; so, the fun is self-replenishing. And as a bonus, the odd Polar Bear may drop by for a chat

If you read the other threads on the forum you would not make comments like that

I will point you to the thread entitled "Do You Feel Betrayed" and if you read it you may be a little more understanding!!!
