Are You As Bored As I Am?
 
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 :D

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

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.:D

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;):D

If you read the other threads on the forum you would not make comments like that:mad: I will point you to the thread entitled "Do You Feel Betrayed" and if you read it you may be a little more understanding!!!
