Winter Blues and Boredom.

If you live on the east coast then you must realize the weather has been crazy.

A few days we were -6 degrees. Or maybe we had snow.

Then there will be a tease of 60 degree weather.

Of course on a day like that it rains.

For me boredom is something I fight with everyday.

I've been unemployed for 18 months.

Not for a lack of trying.

I used to work and go to college.

Than come home and do housework.

So I was never bored.

But when the weather is horrible outside

and money is tight,

well the winter blues and boredom takes over.

Sure Winter is pretty to look at.

The snow covered trees,

fences and bridges.

However, it's cold,

you have to bundle up

and drive carefully.

Not really looking forward

to going outside.

If you are on a tight budget

like me,

well there really isn't

much to do.

Of course there are things to do.

You can clean your house.

Mine is so clean,

it drives me nuts.

I keep cleaning the same thing,

over and over again.

There is always laundry,

dishes to wash

and hubs to write.

Often I look outside

and say how pretty,

but how boring

Winter can be.

I like to read.

So I get my books

from the Library.

After awhile my eyes

get tired.

Television is boring.

I watch the news

but after that

I shut it off.

I'm not into court shows,

talk shows

or soap operas.

So other than that,

I only watch TV early

morning and at night.

So what happens.

I begin to yawn,

yep and I fall asleep.

Yes from boredom.

I get 8 hours of sleep

every night.

So why else

am I sleeping?

Well I guess once I

find a job!

Hopefully.

I will be less bored.

Sure I love writing

on hubpages

and reading,

and keeping a

clean house

and fresh laundry.

But honestly,

this cold, harsh

winter.

Is giving me the

Winter Blues

and Boredom.

Can you relate?
