Any suggestions how to while away 5 more weeks at home?

[Menora]

I am off work, can’t drive, can’t lift anything, am tired easily and need to walk slowly and short distances

Kids are teenagers

I am so bored. Bored bored bored. I have started a paint by numbers, started a book, did some crosswords and watched some TV. Still bored 😂

Reading. Jigsaws. Box sets. Cross stitch. Nosing in your teenagers’ lives

I did start the count of Monte cristo but it was hard going! Should I stick with it?

I am not sure what yoga I can do, I am a bit restricted with anything in my abdominal area but I am not on bedrest I am up all day shuffling around

The last 2 days I have felt really crappy and emotional. I think it’s normal, hormones and changes to my body, temporarily loss of independence and I did talk to my boyfriend about it and wish I hadn’t! Obviously I have droned on about it too much and I have barely heard from his since. I know I am putting on weight, my body looks different and I feel 1000 kinds of gross - crazy hair, hairy legs, gotta wear nylon stockings for a month, constipated, bloated, walk like a duck, wearing massive pants

No one has visited me or kept in touch (not even family) so this adds to the boredom as I can’t go out but everyone is too busy to come to me either

I have my girls though keeping me company which is nice but I know they have their own lives

Yes, stick with The Count, it gets so much better!

Your boyfriend sounds useless. What's the point of a partner if he sacks you off when you need support the most?

Being housebound is really hard, you have my sympathy. In a month you will feel completely different; just try to hold onto that thought. Do you have a garden you could sit in to soak up some vitamin D? Try to break your day up with things to look forward to at certain points: a nice cup of coffee, watching your favourite film, listening to a podcast.

Hope you feel better soon.

I think I am being really oversensitive and everything he is doing is annoying me in some way. Or he’s just really annoying

He kept telling me to focus on all the positives of things to do this year and I was lying in bed thinking I don’t know what they are because he won’t make any solid plans so I just booked myself a hotel room later in the year!

Learn to cube. You'll impress people endlessly, find it totally addictive once you've got past the hard annoying frustrating first hours, have something to majorly focus in, and be v proud of yourself.
