That was me yesterday - gloomy and rainy.

Today is sunny and a great day for a walk!

Hope your tomorrow looks brighter

@goldensrbest Hi ... If I remember correctly you are in Maine. I'm in Mass and we have the same yucky weather. Maybe even snow on Friday. I was in Maine a few weeks ago. Ogunquit to be exact. I love your state and was so happy it opened up to us in MA. I've been playing games and also reading a lot. And yes, you are right about tv . Nothing interests me right now. Hoping the weather improves next week. Stay well...

I'm bored too, and honestly feeling kind of stressed out. Shoulda known better than to turn on the news earlier.

Its cold and raining here too. Been raining all day, suppose to rain all night. This weather does nothing for anxiety or depression.

Yes we also have that nasty rain today. It's suppose to stop in the morning so hopefully we will see the sun which we have not seen since Sat.

We have been in the kitchen cooking. Since DH went back to work today I have been cleaning house.

We had Ice Mon & Tues. I'm just glad we still have power. It did go out back came right back on.

The neighbors tree is all over his drvieway & his neighbors driveway. Since it's melting you can hear all this stuff falling out of the trees.

At least it will warm up so we will have a nice weekend plus nice week next week.

I hate it when the Sun is not out.

I need one of those Happy Energy Lights. LOL!!!

It's spritzing out. I just got back from a walk.

Earlier on I had a Zoom meeting with my class, but sent them off early so that they could do their project.

Before that, I finished writing my Thanksgiving play for the grandchildren.

This morning I made the rice for chicken and fried rice, which I made for lunch.

Now there's nothing to do. Except prepare for next week's classes.

@goldensrbest

Everyday! If it's not for spouse dr appts this week (and every other week) my calendar would be "empty"! But I do swim/walk everyday for a few hours since the shutdown..

I need to be "busy" every minute ... but, this weekend I got away...went to cousins house and we had 3 fun days at pool, beach & dinners at the beach!

It was just just what I needed "mental health days" for sure😉

I never get bored. Always too much to do and not enough time to do it.

I worked today (short day) but our business is so slow I have not had a full day in a very long time.

DH is home at noon on days that are my day off and it is driving me crazy.

I am not used to not working and especially not used to having DH home all the time....(no snary comments please). I am one of those people that need alone time and it is really getting the best of me.

@goldensrbest And that rain makes it feel even colder! We had snow and single digit temps a few days ago here in Colorado, back up to the 70's next week.

Someone posted their finished paint by number country type scene here a few months ago. Does that sound like something you may want to do to keep the boredom at bay? They are on Amazon and reasonable, $14.99, the brand is Dimensions. They also have a really nice dog one too.

I bought one and the box is in the laundry room lol, I'll get to it when it stays consistently cold which isn't too far away.

@goldensrbest. You're in Maine; I'm in the Desert Southwest but it's also 42° and overcast here today and we had 10" of snow yesterday. I could go out as it has melted on the pavement but there's no place to go.

Did the dogs play in it?

Re: Any one bored?

Kachina624 — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 20:26:48 GMT

@goldensrbest. Oh yes, they run, play and wrestle, then get it coated all over their coats and leg feathers. Then they run in the dog door and both jump in my lap. Each weighs 30-35lbs so its a heavy, wet, cold load.

I am bored. Every. Single. Day.

I moved to a new state and am having the time of my life right now. So much new to discover, the weather is mild and a very active neighborhood living on a golf course. Even during COVID no complaints here.

@Mom2Dogs

We recently retired and it has been a big adjustment to be around DH all day. He can putter in the garage or outside and I am like "what am I going to do today???" It's so ironic because when I was working, we both had our elderly moms plus demanding jobs. Now our mothers are gone and we have no responsibilities. Wish there could have been some balance at the time. I want to volunteer once things open up again but for now I'm trying to practice 'counting my blessings' and learning I don't have to be on the go all the time!
