Boredom, I feel this word has been alien to me for some time now because of life's activities juggling motherhood duties while actively putting all effort into growing my business as well as having the online space to while away some spare moment, but today boredom almost took over.
For most people, Monday is the most serious work day, especially having to cut short their weekend relaxation, the reason why most workers dread Mondays, but for me, it is usually my work-free day, consider Monday as my off day. What I do is mostly have a good rest after dropping my kids at school, did I forget to mention how tight my work schedule is during the weekend, I hardly have time for anything to rest because it's either I'm trying to round up orders for the week or dress a client for her special day or outing, the life of a fashion designer, so you see why that rest is very needed, alongside my phone which helps me keep a tab on online orders, and of course, Hive, I know, not so free hehe, but work still has to go on online. I usually don't miss a needlework Monday, it's been like a ritual to me, but I did today, all for the very reason that caused the day's boredom.
My three year old daughter accidentally hit my phone on the floor, I wondered what she was trying to do with it, and that immediately blanked out my phone's screen, worst still, my laptop has been having battery issues, so it's totally shut down till when I get the battery replaced, without the online space, this automatically means a bored day for me, I gave my hubby my phone to get it fixed on his way to work, that means I'm not getting it back until he returns by evening, normally, sewing takes away any sort of boredom, but remember it's my work free day.
What I did,
I love cleaning, I find it therapeutic, just putting things in place, decluttering, and having everywhere smelling clean and fresh, I tried that, but since every where was already tidied, I didn't spend much time doing that, next, I took a nap, and today of all days, sleep decided to travel out of Glory's eyes and then the boredom starts to set in even more.
Normally, I do enjoy my personal space, but today seemed like not that kind of day, so I dresses up, took my keys, and off I went to visit my mum, luckily I found my siblings there as well, with some of our relatives, being in their company, I didn't feel the absence of my phone like I would have felt if I stayed back at home all by myself, and that was how my almost boring day got fixed. I believe the best killer of boredom is being in the company of friends and loved ones, or involving yourself in activitiesssss that calms or make you feel happy.
Hobby is back, my phone is fixed thankfully, I should be more careful with my phone to avoid another almost boring day.
