Feeling hum-drum. Surely there is more to life than this ?

WFH every day. We no longer have an office.

Week days consist of working & trying to fit in washing/life house admin when I can while also being taxi to DC for school/local uni.

I'm constantly on a diet, so no lovely snacks/treats to perk me up in the day (I would regret eating them anyways when I got next got on the scales).

UK based - the days are grey, the nights are becoming more drawn in.

My diet/race to loose a few stones seems like a never-ending battle. I love food and would eat all day if I could get away with it. I'm all or nothing and cannot control myself.

Like seeing friends but only if this involves going to 1 pub only and staying there all night and having a seat in the pub and there is no overly rowdy/loud music or crowds where I get trodden on every 5 minutes and drink spilt on me as someone tries to edge past me due to the crowds. A few of my friends always insist I go with them to these sort of places. They love it. I used to but no longer do.

Bored in the week day eves when DC are doing own thing and it's dark early and DH is either out or working late some nights.

Feeling very hum-drum. I do not want a hobby !

I'm here. I'm feeling similar! WFH is hard. It's sucked the life out of me.

I'm.really struggling with it but there aren't many in house roles available at the moment and I feel trapped wfh.

My house is drab. Despite painting it - it still looks drab

The sky is so grey its like someone put the world in an ice cream box and put the lid on

Every meal is a rush.

Just to say I empathise with the diet. I so wish the thought of exercise and meal prepping fills me with joy, but the truth is that wine and biscuits do. I totally relate to life feeling less shiny when trying to be healthier!

I’m a hobby person so really reaaaally struggling to think of something that will help that’s not a hobby. But I sympathise!! I know what you mean about the pub. I literally never go but if I did I would need your preferred situation.
