Today, a certain friend of mine spotted a three year old entry on my blog named “International Boredom Day” and suggested I should write an update about it. While it’s not a written suggestion, it’s good enough for me today 🙂
Indeed, tomorrow, we shall be celebrating 3 years since I pronounced January 9th International Boredom Day. I suppose that on the day I wrote the entry in question, I could’ve done all sorts of productive things but instead had a nap, read a book, lazed around a little. That’s a luxury I hardly even dream of these days! What I’d give for one day where I have time to be bored.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my fast-paced exciting life and don’t want to give up any of my projects, but there’s a part of me that envies my boss for his two weeks in Sri Lanka spent meditating and doing yoga over Christmas. Sounds like bliss! (Not the yoga part, I would probably break in two if I tried doing yoga, but the meditation, relaxation bit.)
I have a theory that the older you grow, the faster time flies. I call it the Theory of Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Stuff. (A beer to whoever can place this quote) So in the past 3 years, I’m convinced days have gotten shorter! It’s harder to find time to sleep, and almost impossible to get everything done at work and at home while keeping some sane Me-time every so often for reading an embarrassingly cheesy novel or watching a bad movie like… Robocop or Hackers…
So while I don’t have an answer on how to MAKE time, all I can say is that International Boredom Day is no longer in existence in my mind.
This Blog Topic Challenge is turning out to be harder than I thought – especially with the mad evenings we’ve recently had. But I’m still up for it! Entries still welcome to help me make up a whole month’s worth of suggestions!

I’ll take that beer. The Doctor in both Blink (“best episode evah”) and the Children In Need special.

Who said what??? WWTWS..???
Some guy named Bill G. said technology will free us from time consuming work???
I say, Vero excluded, there is too much useless info available on the Net and in all forms of media…Spoke to a neighbor lately??
By the way, the pogo in the snow bank has disappeared…so has 50% of the beautiful snow. We are on day 4 of spring temperatures. That is record setting scary weather for eastern Canada…
Bonne semaine!
