Hi!
I have had so many ideas for blog posts and so much time, but have become a lazy bum and just never sit down and write. Which brings me to my main topic: boredom.
I have been working since the age of 14 or 15 (not including babysitting and all the odd jobs I did before that). Now, having put my babies in day care part time muuuch earlier than planned, I find myself with mornings off. For the most part this is a wonderful wonderful gift I have given myself. The sad part is that I hardly know what to do with myself and am feeling blue these days just for lack of inspiration.
I do get to workout, which is a nice boost of energy and pride for me. I could theoretically catch up on precious lost hours of sleep, but I cannot take a nap in the morning, it just does not happen. So I end up doing laundry, watching copious amounts of bad TV and spending far too much time on my phone doing nonsense.
I also have to refrain from going out and spending money since I am on a reduced income, so shopping (which I hate anyway) is sort of out of the question.
On the other hand, I have tried getting into a few things (volleyball, although my team is on a hiatus for this and possibly next season, volunteering, reading up on subjects of interest to me, contests,etc.). The problem with this is two fold: either people do not get back to me at all, or everyone I contact writes back at the same time. So now I have to hold back the urge to contact everyone I know and sign up for stuff at the risk of being overextended later on.
I know these aren't real problems. I am just not used to being bored because it takes so little to keep me amused. I am already sad my mat leave is coming to an end (only 3 months from now though) and I miss my boys. I also miss my friends and on some level I miss the feeling of going out dancing all night and having a few drinks.
That's all. I just felt like getting that out because I have nothing else to do but chores. I will try to embrace the boredom, embrace the last few months of having the luxury of not working or caring for the babies most mornings. I will try to be patient waiting for the results of an exam I did 5 months ago, for the bank to answer my questions, for the volunteering place to respond to my application email, for all the things... pffft! Ha. I am ridiculous and sorry for making you suffer through the worst blog post of all time.
