For most of my life I have called, "Bored" the "B-word." I do not know, but I do believe my 4 elder siblings helped me see the correlation between the phrase, "I'm bored" and impending chaos long before I got past my childhood mutism. My six younger siblings reinforced the correlation before I graduated from speech therapy. I came of age with a superstitious aversion to the B-Word. To say it was to invite a party of chaos demons.
By the time my own children were old enough to use the phrase, my over-compensating habits were fruitful enough to have made, "I'm jealous!" my standard response to, "I'm bored."
Here in my advanced empty nest years I am beginning to use the word freely. Even chaos is beginning to look more attractive than the echoes of my empty hours. I continue reaching for productivity in my new graphics studio, but the boredom continues to reign.
Not sure where this is going. Just bored?

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
How is the studio going? I would like one if I survive past march. I have room in the house I am moving too. After other needs are met there to make it livable.
Think I am still too physically isolated, though. Still miss the travel.
