Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure. – Aldous Huxley
Well, it certainly has been a while hasn't it?
I would like to think that I'm a little older and wiser, but I've moreso found that I'm more battle-hardened, introverted and set in my ways, like a proper almost 40 year old who feels 60. My days are spent with stupid to the point of manic amounts of hobbies and interests (I put in an Amazon order today for additional homemade deodorant supplies), voice lessons with my friend Allison (a year and a half and I still avoid Karaoke Night), housekeeping (reading everything I can about the uses of castile soap), cooking Weight Watchers friendly meals (twenty five pounds down), shooting groundhogs in the ass with a BB gun to keep them out of the yard (woodchuck is not listed in the WW app, hence my nonlethal methods) and trying to get the bills paid off and get the beach house built so that my husband can retire sooner rather than later. I live in a new house, I have new dogs, I have new step-grandchildren. It's still summer, so I am drinking beer more than wine (in moderation- Weight Watchers afterall). Instagram (@emgeraci) is cool, I get to post photos of my food and hobbies. Nothing scandalous, so of course that makes it pretty boring in the social media world. It's all about the stuff that makes me happy. I spent too many years whining and focusing on things that make me miserable. I have Twitter, but I find it uninteresting. Everything is now so sterile; its too damn difficult to say something that someone isn't offended by.
"Today I went shopping with my best friend and I got a new hat!"
"My sister doesn't even have a head, you insensitive bitch!"
It makes for extremely boring posts.
There are worse things than being boring. I prefer to think of it as unlimited potential for growth. I'm never bored, and what others think of me is none of my damn business. It's also none of my business if your sister has no head. Bottom line: if you continue to check in, I may occasionally talk about something that you're interested in. At least it can help pass the time...
