Since the pandemic started and people have been staying at home, I’ve seen many articles about how to deal with the boredom.
I am not bored. I’m retired, but I do have about eight hours a week of free-lance work. The rest of the time, I have no problem dreaming up projects. For instance...
Cleaning out the bottom of one of my closets four months ago, I found a bag full of knitted squares, 36 different squares, already pinned together in groups of six and labeled rows 1-6. I had, who knows how many years ago, laid them all out and decided how they could be put together into an afghan. Then put them in a bag and forgot about them.

I'm like you, never bored. But I have to admit that the pandemic gets to me occasionally. I miss hanging out with friends IRL, and shopping, and gathering.
ReplyDeleteI have not been bored either; I just really miss my kids and grandkids. I am teaching in person and feeling a little bitter. Maybe I need to look for a project. I think I have some counted cross stitch tucked away. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteAlways projects to do but I do need/want to get out to see things beyond my four walls. I love your project.
ReplyDeleteAgree - I've rarely been bored the last few months. In fact, I have flourished and grown/taken risks that I could not have anticipated.
