I'm Bored!

We have had a few lovely days and l have done more in those days than l have in ages! Today, the rain is back and l'm feeling stuck in and bored! (I sound like a teenager!)
Are you bored? Or don't you get time to be bored? Does the weather give you the energy and enthusiasm to do more?

We call it.. " cabin fever ". Its a sickness we Miamians suffer during the hurricane season. When we find ourselves locked in our homes with the shutters closed tight because of a on coming storm. Drives us nuts..

Re: I'm Bored!

I always feel more energized Artangel when the sun is shining and if I am stuck inside for any length of time it drives me loopy.

Mind you if I want something to do I go to the garage and start sorted through stuff we have put in there to go through on a raining day.

Re: I'm Bored!

I don't get bored. Life's too short. If I'm in the house, I'm either on line or reading - I don't do housework, now that is boring. I have a big garden that takes a lot of time and I go out most days, shopping and/or for my 'brisk walk' along a nice flat beach or, if the tide is in, along a cliff walk. I used to get bored doing things I didn't want to do and being with boring people but now, I'm my own mistress and I do what I want to do and nothing I don't want to do. Bliss.

moreover, My garden is one acre in size, so you can imagine, l am never bored when l am out there! I think, it's the frustration of doing so much out there in the past few days and now l feel stuck in...and l hate housework!

Eyes, Yes, it is 'cabin fever'!!

Re: I'm Bored!

Not bored here Art the only time I am bored is when I am with people and can't escape to do what I want

I just got back from the shops with some 'smellies' to wrap for my DIL's birthday and some local asparagus which I will knock into a quick soup for lunch today.

It may be wet but the rain is of the 'fine' variety so I will have a little potter before returning to curtain making

Re: I'm Bored!

I am never bored, there is always something to do. I don't do gardening because of my back, that's Alan's department as he likes to be outdoors. Now housework and ironing is boring but it has to be done at least once a week (ironing not so much). Most of the time I am busy beading with new designs, or I am on the pc. Mondays and Thursdays I teach line dancing which is now in it's 9th year, and that is my exercise for the week

Re: I'm Bored!

I am lucky I guess Art as I live in a sunny location. I sit outside mostly and if I feel bored I just pick up my hobby or go for a walk or cycle
