D started his internship two weeks ago. Since then, the parents have called me twice to make sure that I am not bored to death…

The following list shows some of my activities from yesterday:

• Changed, refreshed, and laundered beddings.
• Jotted down numbers from electric meter, and inputted these into a spreadsheet.
• Visited the weekly Thursday market.
• Bought fresh bread from baker.
• ATM withdrawal.
• Refilled bird feeders.
• Updated and analysed the finances of four people.
• Emailed my decision to the law firm as regards a matter of administration.

And just like that, D got home while I was prepping dinner. I did not even have time to read the pile of magazines, go to the library, or plant the rest of the endive roots…

Bored? Never! I have not known boredom since I can read.
