Up North

I loved my job but was laid off nearly 3 years ago so yes I do get bored. I am not used to being home all the time with no people contact. I have gotten lazy about much housework. I think it is depression. My husband wants me to find another job but at 59 where? and to drive 50 miles for part time or minimum wadge with gas prices as they are? Well I will just take a nap!!

Not bored--never been bored.

It is amazing how much stuff there is to do both necessities and the fun. I have several things at church I'm involved in and have a productive life. I do have a friend that went back to work because she got so bored - could never figure that out.

I NEVER get bored. I've been retired about 11 years, and I'm so busy now, I don't know how I worked. I sometimes wish for a little downtime.

my husband retired in 09 one year later PBGc took over and cut his pension by1,000 dollars a month. it is amazing that he can watch tv so long. I get bored. Well even with our home and cars paid off it has been tuff. I find I have to ask for help as i work 40 hrs a week and often 50hrs. So tonight to get his attention I set 3 trash cans on the on the front porch and left for work. yeap they where there when I came home. I can step over them and did. Finally he asked what they where doing there. I said I am waiting on santa to take care of them. Thick! I can wait him out.

I just retired a little over a month ago. Well, I kinda got forced into it because of health, but I was going to retire just after the first of next year anyway. Our shed burned down just before Valentines Day & the insurance company paid for a new one. My DH said...here's your new studio! 420 square feet!! WOOHOO! He also knew I'd been hunting for a year for a longarm & one popped up at the right time...I bought it & it's just about set up for use. Of course, the building only came with insulation...no electric, etc. So, spent almost 2 weeks installing electrical outlets, main fuse panel, lighting, paneling, carpet, plus stairs & a porch. Now it's time to move my sewing room into the new building. I'll have that done before the weekend is over. Then it's organizing & quilting! Bored?? Who has time???

Oh my gosh NO.....wonder how I ever found the time to work. I am so busy all the time and the clock just seems to turn too fast

Loved reading everyones comments. My retirement is fast approaching so this gives me inspiration from all you wonderful people. I hope boredom doesn't strike me. I enjoy crafting and sewing but do agree that sometimes gets to be too much and the social part is so important. I guess its all about BALANCE!!
