I'm bored

The title of this blogpost sums things up really - I’m bored. I’m not depressed, or wistful, or tired, or angry, or confused, or any of the other weird emotions that sometimes overpower me and dominate my life and my thoughts. I’m just bored.
Summer has faded away and I feel as if I’m just stuck on a treadmill watching life drift by the same way every day. I believe it’s called ‘Hamster Wheel Syndrome.’
Anyway let’s not dwell on that as you don’t want to hear my woes, especially when it’s just the same old stuff that I go on about most days anyway, and the same old stuff that everyone else is going through in their own lives. 
So…..
Philippa and I have planned the rest of the year. I hate to be that organised but it’s something we’ve had to do as there’s rather a lot going on between now and December. It felt great to be sitting down together and doing it nicely rather than snapping at each other the way we sometimes do. I tend to panic when I have to face change or plan too far ahead, and it’s nice to remember I have someone beside me now to help me through that and be with me on the other side. I’m amazed I ever managed to do anything when I was single, because if I’m not tackling life with Philippa’s help and support I feel naked and scared. 
We’re both quite looking forward to moving house now. The fear and apprehension has given way to excitement as we’ll be placed somewhere new and getting used to a new environment. And we’ll be getting paid for it! Bonus!
(Actually, we don’t get paid for the time in between houses, but you see my point…)
Work is shite, but isn’t work shite for everyone? We’re now sorting out our Christmas rotas and I keep being asked ‘What days do you want to work this year?’ The only answer I can come up with is “None of them”
