I keep busy most days, but lately I've been bored. I have retired from formal teaching, but I stay current and active in the academic field by tutoring middle school and high school teens in reading and writing. Summer is approaching and the clientele has decreased to just 3 hours a week. That's dangerous for me...boredome is the devil's workshop.
I enjoy time with my children and grandchild, but that doesn't happen on a regular basis so no time filled in that arena.
I have a boyfriend, but he is busy with his stuff, so no time filled in that arena.
My 91 year old mother is kickin' ass, I'm not needed as much; so no time filled in that arena.
What to do? I decided to begin a blog and see what all the buzz is about. It took days to figure out the parameters, but I caught on and now I feel I can say I'm up to the "Advanced" stage where I learn to add side bars, tags, and stuff. My mind is fully occupied with the learning.
Out of boredom comes growth. I am learning to be a blogger and my writing is becoming more fluid. This is good. But boredom still sucks!

Caught your journal on the "recently updated" and put it on my favorites with a couple more. Haven't read much except your entry today and the sidebar. You'll find journaling very interesting and informative as well. It's better than reading novels because I don't have to hold the book and turn the pages:) Not really that lazy. I've been at this for almost a year and I hope you hang in here with us. Come on over and visit me at: alice
My daughter teaches in the middle schools. This week has been hard on her since it is the last of the school term the kids are wild. Today will be the last day of school for them this season. Helen
Welcome! My answer to everything is...
CHICKENS!
Now before you go off thinking I am bonkers..here me out. Chickens are wonderful companion animals and so relaxing, and they love all the attention you will give them. Just ask Breakaway1968 (Carrie). She has just gotten her first batch of baby chicks after reading my journal for so long she couldnt stand it anymore, she had to know what it was like. Now she can't believe she didnt do it sooner. :) Chickens will keep you busy and you would love it.
Now this is just a suggestion. ;) You can also live vicariously through my journal if you like. I am indeed a chickenaholic. I show chickens at poultry shows, I breed chickens, I raise chickens...from fancy and exotic to the plain layers. Come by and visit me sometime.
