I'm doing a bit of everything. Teresa Collins has been doing live workshops, so I've been doing those. I've been decluttering my files and shelves (slowly) in our office, found 3 reams of paper and gave it to DH to add to his collections of papers and working on next fiscal year's stuff. In between, I've been watching a bit of Netflix daily, playing some games on the computer, one of which I'm deleting in a bit as it's too easy to keep playing (slots) but I'm keeping the bubble shooter game.

I'm definitely not bored. I am working remotely so my M-F schedule is pretty much the same, minus the commuting time. On the weekends I've been keeping myself busy with projects around the house.

I’m working from home, sewing masks, going out for walks, taking an online class, doing some art every day, texting with friends. Def not bored.

I am not bored but... blah?
I am busy with the kids and house and such, but I don't really have time to do the things I want to be doing, so I am pretty ennui.
I am too distracted by the constant "Mom!" echo that is constantly hungry or needs help on something to focus on anything, be it a book or new hobby. My husband has been keeping them busy on Saturdays so I can do some quilting and that is helping a bit.

I work more hours from home. I am not always as productive, but I am in front of my computer.
The weekends I work more. Now that I have two extra people in my house, it feels like more work. They do a lot, but I'm responsible for the grocery shopping. The cooking and cleaning up we share, but there is always something around that I have to do.
I hate it.

I bored AND busy.
I have plenty to do, some of it overwhelming, which makes me ignore it since I can only seem to handle one overwhelming thing at a time and the pandemic is it right now.
I have plenty of work to do for working from home but it’s boring work. Little to no interaction with other people.
So I get up, do all the morning dog things that need to be done. Work from home for 8 hours just me & my work tablet. Seeing words dancing before my headache-y eyes by 5 pm. At lunch & 5 pm I do the necessary dog things feed/walk etc. Then, I look around me, see 50 things I should do and instead I go blob in front of the TV aimlessly or I do mindless craft things. Not creative craft things, because my mind is not creating right now. But mindless things my hands can do To keep ‘busy’ because I’m hiding from the 50 or so things I should do but I’m avoiding.
And after all that I’m amazingly exhausted for little to no reason.

I could do lots of stuff, but I don't feel like doing any of it. So I'm bored right now. or depressed, whichever it is... That’s me. I could clean out closets, etc and I just can’t start.

To keep me from being 'bored' I kinda have a house 'to do list' that I try to do at least one or two things every weekend I'm home (my weekend is four days).
Then pick up house, some weeks are better than other, but I am not going to kill myself to keep it looking perfect. I do always try to be sure all my laundry is done AND put away.. haha.
Then I do crafts. Scrapbooking. Puzzles. Color. Organizing some of my scrapbook stuff. Paint By Number. I have all of those out so I can just go from project to another project when I get bored.

I'm often bored, anyway. I have hobbies, but I'm usually too tired to do them.
Mystie , how are you doing overall? How much chemo do you have left? Thinking healing and cancer-free thoughts. Thanks. I have a treatment tomorrow and another in two weeks, and then chemo should be done. Then surgery, maybe at the end of July...not sure when that will be. I'm not doing great, to be honest; physically this is very hard and emotionally it's devastating. I think I could have handled it all okay if it wasn't for the pandemic. It's hard to feel like I have a future. But hopefully getting done with chemo and starting to feel physically better will help my state of mind. :-) My understanding is that chemo can make you very depressed and isolated. That makes sense, too. Doing this during a pandemic is just beyond surreal and must make things even scarier or darker. So much uncertainty can't feel good. Breast cancer is very survivable, but the road to get there is awful. Have you sought out support from a therapist through your breast cancer center? There is a lot of support available. Please take advantage of the support services offered as you endure treatment. We've had a lot of survivors on the board and you will be one of them.

Working from home, keeping two boys learning and entertained, cleaning, cooking. Busy and bored at the same time. But I don't feel sorry for myself. I'm just sad that my sons (11 and 14) have already missed out on so much this year (school, hockey, friends) and now we have to get through a summer without baseball. DH coaches my eldest son's team and both my boys are very athletic and had incredible seasons last year. The DH and I even joined a mixed softball team last summer and had so much fun. Sad that my kids are experiencing shut down. The 11 year old is beginning to show signs of depression. We've kept physical activity for the family as a priority but he's missing his friends. I think we may need to let a few kids from our neighbourhood into our pod.
