Weird feeling

[cosmolinguist]

I've had a week and a day off and I have slept so much!!

Despite last night itself not being great for sleep, I am starting to wonder if I have actually caught up on sleep.

Because a strange feeling has overcome me this evening and I think it's...boredom? I am used to keeping myself busy after dinner doing chores, reading, or just trying not to go to sleep until bedtime.

But now I've done enough stuff for the day -- went to the gym with angelofthenorth, had a shower, fetched the now-empty recycling bin and put it back where it belongs, walked Teddy, put groceries away when they arrived -- and I'm not that tired.

Is...is this when people do hobbies??

Boredom

Yup. That sounds familiar. I think it's also when some people socialise - i know friends have cheesemas at this point in Christmastide - if they don't have hobbies. Visiting museums and such is also considered an option.

It's also a danger time for new years resolutions

Oh they don't tempt me at all. The 2020s have been full of a massive resolution for me every year -- get a job, get divorced, start medical transition, rebuild community that I lost in 2020 -- and I've done every single one. I definitely think it's time for a year off. ;)

Oh yeah, in this specific post-Christmas pre-New Year period, I've always been working previously. Cheese, socializing and museums all sound better than that! :)

It does sound like that mythical time when hobbies can happen.

It is, yes. Or they play games, or other kings of things that are enjoyable and pass the time. Strange, I know.

I like that you have had enough rest to wonder!

Me too!
