I usually have to get out and walk around. The sight of an animal even a squirrel can ease my bored state.

Did someone say squirrel?

When I'm bored I usually sit at my piano, unless I'm in one of those hellish moods where I'm bored but can't actually DO anything!

Oh, i'm often in one of those hellish moods, Fazer. Bored...too spaced out to do anything about it, yes. It really sucks when that happens.

Was hoping to get some insight ito what others do... I thought I might try a trip to a museum some time. By myself, no pressure, just look at Art, or something. Stare at a painting for an hour :-))

Yes, I tend to my grooming. I worry when THAT starts diminishing!

Hi dobiedots, Naps are good... and my nap dreams are weirder than my night dreams, so that's entertaining!

I'd nap now, oh, except it'd be night sleep. Since i've gone to sleep past 6 am twice this week, my circadian rhythm's all screwed up!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
