I've been retired for seven years. home most of the time, and I have so much to fill my days, not counting posting that I can't imagine being bored. Books, music (listening and playing), nature walks, hobbies, gardening, home projects, and on and on.

I did all my food shopping for next week. No excuse to go out. I plan on doing cleaning out projects. I work these jobs where we clean out peoples homes when they move to assisted living. One lady lived in an apartment for 79 years, the dust and stuff I unearthed was astounding. Every time I do that job I plan on a cleaning out rooms in my own home. Next week hall closet and laundry room. If this continues on my house will be less cluttered. My husband says he likes me doing that job because I clear out own my home.

We need more of that. I am bad with hands and sewing. But thinking how there is a way to help.

Must be the seventh time. Am totally enjoying it!
It's something to look forward to every day.

Don Draper proves to be a total cad over and over. Betty is a psycho. Peggy is interesting - has grown as a character. Sally is a good little actress. Most of the shows are interesting, and there is a different story line every time.

It's like peeling back an onion. Every time you watch it, you get deeper and deeper into these characters. And you understand them more and more.

I have a friend whose father was in the advertising business, during the same time that Mad Men takes place. She said Mad Men is the real deal.

I needed a good laugh

I’ll never understand the notion of boredom.

we're busy busy busy.

And even if we stay home, the weekend is gonna feel like a weekend!

Just to give him some perspective.

Imagine being stuck in an attic, no internet, not being able to make noise.

We've got it good by comparison.

To bickering to acceptance. And now we are sitting here happily having happy hour after walking the dog and mowing the lawn.

are going to stop cooperating. She's a Millennial. So I think it's going to take a lot of PR talk to prepare them.

My daughter always would find something to do after that. My son would pout a little then find something interesting.

I haven't even been able to take a breath yet, just trying to get our meds, groceries, cupboards and freezer in order, etc... We all have hobbies ranging from jewelry making to greeting card design. I can't imagine being bored. There is ALWAYS something to do. Cooking, cleaning, organizing, painting, sewing, crafts, gardening, especially now that it's spring.

I knew there was a reason I was getting fat!

What won't it go off?!?!

She walked me into the laundry room, told me how the machines worked and said, "OK. Laundry is now your job. That should keep you occupied."

I never complained of being bored again. And I'm still doing my own household's laundry every week.

We quickly learned to find something to occupy ourselves. Now for me, checking out ebooks from the library is the best.

Both of my parents were less than tolerant of whining from me and my siblings about stupid things. Their responses to such things were very effective. Even better for my mother, my boredom that day relieved her from doing laundry for the next four years, until I went off to college. Her lessons were self-perpetuating. We rarely whined about anything, I can tell you.

Roll of quarters, roll of dimes, and "Follow me."

I'm 58 now, and I've been doing my own laundry ever since.

We relish the boredom. Since we both retired we have done so much for the state of boredom. My ex-work-a-Holic hubs says he finally found what he’s good at. Doin’ nothin’.

Of course, we sold everything and moved here. Paradise is a great place to be locked in together. He has 100 + Rubik’s cube.
Pot is legal, we have a pool. It’s 78degrees here. Sigh. Monkeys, lizards and toucans, oh my.

I made this post because everything that I am involved in since retiring is cancelled.. The food pantry, book club, the conservation organizations red hats (yes I am ) , even church is on line.. things that keep me not only busy, but feeling like I am contributing to my local community.. .. but it is for the best.. stop this virus in its tracks..but being home all the time and not out in the community , I miss it..

Now you are a prisoner in your own prison.

I know you aren’t as bored as your thread.
Just venting. Who can blame you.

All our fun is cancelled too. I’m just here and you are there. Here is cool. There, not so much.

We are dealing with it by doing outdoor activities that minimize contact with people like picnicing, hiking, fishing, camping. Helps cure the covirus blues.

if you can sew.

I'm bored, too. But I have never seen so many people out walking in my neighborhood. Only in the 30s as far as temperature and more people walking than in July.

And I rarely get bored.

Retired, but took a job part time - sadly, I find it boring most of the time.

Then we'd have something else to talk about, think about, deal with.
