I’m having one of those weird, bored evenings.
I managed to write out an outline for podcast episode #21, but am not enthused enough to actually record it tonight. Not feeling creative enough to write on the NaNo. Not into testing out my Christmas Cookie candle scent. Don’t want to watch a DVD or read. Don’t even want to play Civilization, although that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. Seems to be my default “I’m bored” activity.
I’m just kind of tired. Not really depressed or anything, just tired. I think I ate too little during the day and too much in the evening, and that might have messed with my blood sugar / energy levels or something. I dunno. Also tired of coughing and clearing my throat ALL FUCKING DAY. It was especially helpful that today was my day to help answer the phones. Good times.
Hey, ladies? Ever had ovulation cramps? This is a new experience for me, and I must say that I don’t care for it. It’s not bad enough that I have to have cramps once a month — now I get them twice? WTF.
So, yeah. I guess I’m just having a weird, funky evening. Nothing a little Civ IV won’t cure.
Speaking of boredom, I realized that I haven’t been bored in a long time. Nowadays when I’m doing nothing I am usually actively avoiding something else that I ought to be doing. I was bored A LOT as a kid… but no longer.
I kick boredom’s ASS. Rarely am I actually at home…although my DVR is calling my name with five weeks of ER episodes and who knows what else. When in doubt there’s always a book, or if the PS2 was hooked up I could go sniping people in Vice City. Might I suggest sleep.
