The Quarantine Chronicles

I’m utterly bored…

Disclaimer: we are living through a pandemic and I’m not an asshole who will risk my life and others, so this is purely a rant. Stay at home you are safe there.

To dive right in, truth be told, I’m insanely bored right now. Everything is so dull, and motivation is at an all time low. I’m not depressed (or am I?). No, I’m not. I’m exercising, cooking, loving, reading and laughing but I’m still so bloody bored at everything. Not to say doing the above things are an indication that I am not depressed, I’m well aware of high functioning depression. Alas, we are not talking about depression today. Another day, perhaps.

My country is at stage 2 of this Covid-19, I get to leave home and go to work, the mall if I choose (which I don’t) but that is bloody boring me so much. I keep thinking about how people are dying in the world and just how insignificant some tasks really are. Work as a construct really needs to be revamped and rethought to stay interesting to me because right now it’s a struggle. This could just be and is probably a problem with my job though. I will not reveal what I do and whereas I do it as I do not have the privilege to lose my income, I talk shit about this job but it pays my bills. Lately, though it's boring me to death. You know what is also really boring? Fucking online meetings. I can’t stand those. They tend to be so long and once again just unnecessary.

I’m also bored with staying home. I know its safe to do so, we already covered that, and I will continue staying at home, but I’m bored. I’m a plant mom, my house is light and airy, with lots of food, a handsome man and I quite like it. But I’m bored. I just want an international flight, a visit to a vineyard, a trip to Portugal and and.

I’m also bored with wearing masks, yoh! Again, it is safe to wear them, and I will continue wearing them but it's so boring my goodness. Mind you I wear specs so its fog town most of the time. On top of that, I get seasonal allergies so sometimes it’s a sneeze fest in the mask, how boring? The upside is I get quite a laugh from watching other human beings navigate with masks, sometimes resting them on top of their heads, scratching through them not to mention the many shapes and colours. NOW that, is funny!!!

I very well understand at this point that I could be using the word boring when what I mean is annoying, ridiculous, shit even maybe but, I will stick with boring. Another thing that is boring is shops sanitizing our hands all the time. AGAIN, it’s the best thing that the shops need to do but crap, some of these sanitizers are weird as fuck and its just all so boring.

Lastly, you know what is boring me right now, writing this. I don’t know why my friend suggested I write how I’m bored, and she will share it on her blog. If she really decides to share this then I guess, she is bored too.

Dear reader, be bored but always awesome. You are surviving a pandemic and whatever you are or doing right now is bloody A+. You are amazing!
