So bored at home; I need advice... ?

Hello. I will be very direct.

The situation; mostly about today:
- I cant do any sports as my knee is injured and waiting to have my operation on it.
- Have an hamster petted it a lot don't want to bother it too much.
- Can play guitar and sing, did all of those since 2 weeks practicing even started a course to remember notes and mods again.
- Trying to stay away from alcohol but got myself a vodka. Slowly started drinking.
- Had a walk already. Weather is very nice.
- My job? Finishing my album but really got bored after paying too much attention nowadays. Need to refresh myself.
- Girlfriend? No.
- Friends? One is sick, other is far away, other is working today.
- Games? Its boring since 2 years.
- Right now I am listening to some music.
- No don't want to read. Read already so much.
- Watched a movie already last night. Its hard for me to watch something nowadays. Nothing very good coming out also.
- Had a shower.

So now I am just sitting trying to find out what to do. Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Watch every episode of the TV series Heros seasons 1, 2, and 3. Or watch every episode of Red Drawf. Either one should do it. Every episode of Naked and Afraid is good too. Or every season of Survivor if you like Survivor. There's like 200 episodes of Survivor at this point. Deadliest Catch is good for wasting time mindlessly.

Start a research project, and post your findings on ATS.



Or find a girlfriend, or two, or three.

I am in a very similar situation, started leather working.
Made these for one of the crumb snatchers.


And I can always watch these amazing creatures.


You will be fine. Give it 6 months and the only thing you will have to remind you of this is a stiff leg once in a while.

Being a little more aware, having more awareness is a certain kind of Hell. -- Chris Rock (paraphrased)

So, you want to go back and be plugged into the Matrix, chained to your seat in Platos Cave?

Blissfuly unaware and easily distracted?, or aware and a little bored.

Your injury has you down only temporarily. Endure the discomfort, its a character defect and you have been given this rest period to sort it out.

Go through your closets and garage and take pictures of good stuff that you don't want anymore and post them on Ebay. May a little cash. Take up a creative hobby, make stuff and sell it on ETSY!

Why aren't out there looking for work and being productive instead? How old are you and are you able to do normal day to day function outside of your home?

I know a musician who can play seven different instruments due to boredom. He's a guitarist also, his first love.

If you can't get access to another instrument right now, try something else that is ordinary. Like the Cup Song. You can get really elaborate with it. Then maybe you could do a video demo and show us. 😁😁😁

His knee is broken. He cant play sports. Working would make it worse.

Besides he is a famous musician didnt you hear?

Why would you assume the OP doesn't work or isn't productive? He's not panhandling ffs...he's just asking for suggestions on things to keep him busy other than drinking...which should be applauded.

Maybe it's his day off, or since it was plainly stated that he's got an injury and is awaiting surgery, maybe he's on medical leave. How do you get unproductive and not looking for work out of a request for ideas to combat boredom?
