I'm Bored Tonight

“Dan” from a previous post suggested I write, tonight, about being too bored to think. I’m never too bored to think, but I can be too bored to think of anything that makes sense. My thoughts are all screwy when I’m bored. Like right now all that keeps running through my head is “my dog ate my homework” and I don’t know why it’s in my head. Not only do I not have any homework, but I don’t even have a dog. My cats definitely wouldn’t eat my homework if I had any.

It’s too late to do any more unpacking, so I thought I’d watch something on TV but I’m so bored I can’t decide what to watch. There really isn’t anything very interesting on right now anyway. “The Nanny” is currently on the TV sitting in front of me. I could go on Netflix and pick a movie but I can’t decide on that either. If I put on something I’ve never seen I’ll fall asleep in the middle of it and probably won’t be able to finish watching it for a while. All the movies I’ve seen will only bore me more than I already am. Maybe I’ll be able to make up my mind when I’m finished with this.

When I’m bored I have no energy to do anything. This is the most exciting thing I’ve got to do right now. Imagine that. Not that I find blogging a chore, because I don’t, I really like it. I just wish I had a better topic for tonight. I seriously couldn’t think of anything. I could’ve written about not being able to enroll the kids in school until Wednesday because I have to make an appointment first (I don’t know why, please don’t ask.); or about what a PITA the boys’ bunk beds were to put together today; or the fact that Kara cut my hair for me this morning (she did a really good job for someone who’s never cut hair before) and how great it looks. Guess what. I’m too bored to get into any detail of any of those things so you’ll have to live with what little I’ve said. Sorry; maybe another time.

My head itches, I need to pee, and it really bugs me when the person in front of me in the left-turn lane at a green light won’t pull far enough out for both of us to go through before the light turns red again. I dealt with a lot of that in Missouri. When the light turns green drive to the middle of the intersection so the person or people behind you can pull forward, too. Then, as soon as you get the chance, turn. Even if the light turns yellow, we can all still make the turn without getting stuck at the red – again.

I need to get some sleep but every time I lie down I think about all the things I have to do in the next few days and it keeps me awake. That’s why I can’t watch a new movie. Makes sense, right? Problem is I have so much to do that I don’t know what to do first. It’s hard to do anything with the kids here, though, because they keep interrupting me. I know, that’s what kids are supposed to do, but the interruptions are constant – one after another. It’ll all get done, though.

I just realized that my left foot is asleep and my butt hurts from sitting on a wooden chair. Why didn’t I notice it earlier? Because I’m bored and was just watching, or staring at, the aforementioned “The Nanny” on Nick at Nite. I guess it caught my attention; either that or I totally spaced out and forgot what I was doing. I can’t tell you what the show is about so I’m going to go with the latter. So I’m back now but am going to stop. The sciatic nerve in the left side of my butt is pinching. I’m bored, but not bored enough to not notice my ass hurting. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have something more interesting to talk about; maybe, maybe not. Tune in to find out. At least I'm going to bed happy.

Until next time…peace to all.
