The Herb Garden

How is it that some people can get bored?


No seriously ...... I admit I am slightly de-motivated in terms of work, even though I have several ideas in place for my:
Life Coaching
My website
Risk assessors training etc etc 


BUT being de-motivated to work and being unemployed means I get to READ and walk the dog and cook or even bake (yes .... everyone is probably getting sick of my rock cakes) SO -boredom is just not in my vocabulary.


I only mention this as I noticed a comment on an aquantance's Facebook status. Which also leads me quite nicely into my lists .... not just the BIG list of things to do before I am a certain age but also my daily planner.


Today's  plan was to get some ironing done, produce a flyer for the Risk Assessments Training, take H for a walk, start a Herb Garden (and that is on the BIG list)  and maybe get some home paperwork done before starting dinner for my hard working Hubby.


The day started well - I got some ironing done, and completed the flyer 
(although have not yet actually distributed to anyone so its not doing much good sitting as a PDF document on my desktop!!!)


Then it began to rain ................ only a little ................... but enough for me to postpone that walk for Harley ................. so I started to read.


I am an avid reader - I love books - I went to Egypt on Holiday last year and read 7 books in the 2 week holiday. This is why I cannot understand boredom ..... give me a book and I am lost to the world ..... give me a good book (such as The Partner by John Grisham - no I am not getting paid to advertise) and I am not just lost - but actually transported to new worlds and wonderful adventures!


I am sitting in my conservatory, reading and lost to time. I finish the book and realise it is now 4.30pm and the day has passed.


Do I worry ....... nope. what a wonderful way to spend a day - OK so I didn't earn any money and I am broke as broke can be but I had a day of heaven ..... I can get on with other stuff tomorrow and I am thankful I have had this day to enjoy (maybe by the end of the week when I don't have enough money for the electricity bill I will be writing something quite different!)


And ..................................  as for the Herb Garden .............. 


I decided where it is going to be - currently covered in weeds - so in seconds I nuked it with weedkiller and will wait for that to do its trick - job done !!!
