Bored and restless seem to be the watchwords for my life lately. I just need something to do during my downtime, and can't find anything. I spend my workdays bored as well, and I was hoping that if I pretended not to care long enough that it would stick (no such luck, it seems). Anything I try to get into these days just becomes boring in about 10 minutes. So that's where I'm at right now.

I'm nearly done a pottery class I started a few months ago and I found that to be great for the mind. It's challenging enough that you really leave the world at the door and it's been a great way to end my work weeks. Maybe something like that would be good for you :)

I've thought about that. I really want to get back into drawing, but find the actual learning process to be super boring and frustrating. I dunno, I find I'm missing satisfaction in life.

I feel the same way about drawing, the process is boring. The learning process for pottery on the other hand uses your muscles, is messy and you get to throw clay. It doesn't fix anything but I find it refreshing. So it won't fix that dissatisfaction but it might just feel good. I also find destroying shrubs to be amazing.

Yeah, I dunno. I just get paralyzed by choice, but at the same time I'm not sure I have the patience for a new skill these days.
