Boredom

Today I had a day off, I spent the first 6 hours of it alone. My wife had to run some errands before going to her baby group. She left the house at 8.30, having asked me to do 3 things, 4 if you include her instruction that I must shower. By 10 I had completed them all. By 10.05 I was bored, I'm just not used to being on my own.

I tried to entertain myself by playing FIFA, it didn't work. I tried watching TV, it didn't work. I tried playing on my iPad, it didn't work. Infact the only thing that did stop my boredom were washing up, peeling the potatoes for dinner and drying out the steriliser.

Thankfully they got home around 2 and I was no longer bored. When did I lose my ability to occupy myself.

I won't get an opportunity to be bored tomorrow as it's another day travelling to work. Only 2 to go.
