Boredom

Is there ANYONE who could possibly be as bored as I am right now, certainly I am the only one that owns an RV that is sitting at home.We came back from a week long family reunion in northern NY 2 week ago, now we are waiting to leave on our New England + trip, Va to OH to Niagara Falls, and 3 other places across NY state, then to VT, NH, and on to ME to stuff as much Lobster in my face as it will possibly hold, then on to Cape Cod, just in case the Lobster wears off on the ride, then back to Southern NY, and back home by sometime in October.
But the 4 weeks between the two trips has been excruciating. :(

    When I am really bored I will cut a hole in the rug and watch the floor show....

    When I am really, really bored I will get some fly paper and make a kite.....:)

    ...but work is so busy I am never really bored... so much so that it has been 3 years and have used the camper once in that time :(

    I know, its a shame... if someone were to make a decedent offer then I just might seriously consider giving it a a new home.

    Be a tourist in your own backyard! When we stopped RVing and being gone lots of weekends we started investigating around our own area again. You'd be surprised what you may be missing. Go for a walk, ride your bike, go shopping, paint your house, learn a new skill, drink yourself silly, try new restaurants-just do!

    I had an artificial disk put in last week to fix a ruptured C6C7 disc. I've been couch bound for the past week and medicated so I cannot do much. Hopefully will be released to drive on July 31 so I can at least get out of the house. It feels like it's been four months since in had my surgery when it's only been five days.

    Get busier. Get more exercise. Spend time helping someone. Spend time with animals especially dogs, horses and mules. Call someone and tell them you love them. Commit random acts of kindness, then you cannot possibly be bored.

    Bored?
    I recently retired and the crew I worked with told me I would get bored and end up coming back to work or getting another job.

    Well...
    That was 18 months ago and I'm still waiting to get bored. As a matter of fact now that I'm retired it seems 24 hours in a day simply isn't enough to get everything done each day.

    Honestly, I had no idea that being an retired old-fart was going to be this wonderful.
    Just my 2 cents worth. :)

    Don't be in a rush to drive. Other half had back surgery on July 5th, argued with the doc to allow her to drive,just released to drive,but hit a bump in the road,her back really feels it.
