I used to eat to excess or shop. Turning over a new leaf: can't and won't do them anymore. I know I was also doing these things because of stress, among other things. A friend jokingly said to me, "get a boyfriend, that'll relieve your stress!" Um, yeah. While that would be nice, if I was only looking for someone for that reason I'd be trading one addiction for another.
I rarely find the time to be bored. But when I do get extra time on my hands, I play Arsenal of Democracy or go out with my dog.
I keep finding projects to do around the house. I go through phases of non-stop energy (like painting the entire inside of my house) to being a total couch potato. But between work and home schooling my kid (and I really need to spend more time with my parents), I don't have a lot of time to be bored. I worry about the day my kid moves on (if he moves on) and I have too much time on my hands. I don't do well with time on my hands.
