Just curious how others spend their days. I'm restricted because of health issues but lately boredom is making my anxierty worse. I feel like all I do is watch tv and play card games on the computer. UGH.

I have a routine and it keeps me sane. Maybe choose one thing each week to accomplish to make you feel less anxious just some thoughts. Big Hugs:)

Usually I work more or less 9-5.30, then time with Mrs Fish, music or garden - weekends with the family and again music, garden or nature hike.

I wake up between 7 or 8, take stomach meds, get on computer and wait until I can eat. Then I have something bland like applesauce (so sick of bland foods!) and poke around on computer some more. Most days, there is an appointment for someone, or sometimes I meet my friend for lunch. After lunch is homeschool time, which lasts until hubby gets home. Then its errands and fixing supper. We eat, and my hubby and I start in on our school work. Sometimes we watch an hour of tv for a break. When I get exhausted, which is usually between 9-10, I take meds and go to sleep.
So I stay busy. But it is not much of a routine and it leaves me really down sometimes. Also, this is on good days when my fibro is not interfering and I am stable.

Up early at six out of the house by seven. I eat breakfast with my husband then I gather myself together and walk to the ctrain station. A short bus ride after that and I'm at work.

I sleep during the day. I work at night around 12 midnight to 8am. Then home again eat something then power sleep for a few hours.

Wake up around 11am...play on the computer and manicure and add to my photo websites. (Hoping someone will recognize my "talent" and hire me or something) I work on the sites for a few hours....

Then back to bed at 2pm..sleep till 8pm. Make my sandwich for work.

Back to bed at 8:30pm...sleep till 11pm..get ready...

Work at 12 midnight...to 8am..

Home at 8:15...

Repeat..

On days that I work I get up around 7:45 and get in the shower and get ready for work and am out the door around 9:15 to be there by 10. Then after work I come home and take another shower, eat dinner and go to bed.

On my days off I usually hang out the first day and then I clean the house and get chores done the second day.

    You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
