Killing time

Absolutely; great advice jonjee.

Last year I was laid up in bed with a broken ankle. Thank God I had a t.v. in my room or I would have gone crazy. My boyfriend was gone to work all day, and I was pretty much alone except when his Dad came over to give me food. It was horrible, but I had t.v., my radio and I started a new knitting project. I also got caught up on all my Writer's Digest magazines that I had been slacking off on.

That's interesting... I do like knitting and I think your suggestion to kill time with doing some offline hobbies is really fun. I think reading some books would be nice too... Hobbies is something that could really help to save us from boredom, isn't it?

I believe that the only time that is wasted is time you weren't enjoying what you were doing.

Some people may say that sleep is a waste of time, for he who enjoys it, t isn't. Some may say watching t.v. all day is a waste of time, but for he who enjoys it, it isn't. It all depends on what is a waste of time for each individual, and no one can say what is a waste of time for anyone else.

I really agree with you that time is money and it is so hard for me to think that I have to spend the whole day without post anything in the net... But what about you have to take the sick leave for some days at home. I believe it is not easy for working people to do this... I think exercising is interesting, but how could you do that if you have to lie at bed the whole day...

Well thats a good question & many people often fell sick. Its all about making time useful. Even writing or reading something informative will help.

That's right! I have never think about that before. I mean, I read things, but I rarely read something useful and informative for me. But if you mean I have to read the text book from school... I think it would bore me even more because now, the situation is that I am bored to hell because I am not allowed to do anything because of my sickness. LOL

Wow, it's great you have stories and music. I can imagine how really boring it would be seeing nothing.

Well, you are really are creative of thinking about this. Nice one!

Wow... that was bad. I don't think I could survive one day without doing anything like you did. i mean, I know that we can do that, listening to stories and music, but I have never thought about that if I were you. I might need someone to accompany me 24/7 so that I would feel safe.
I think it is a very horrible experience, not being able to see anything for a whole week. I don't think I could do that more than 1 hour.

Reading a book is a good idea, though for now I don't have any new book to read. But I would consider to reread a book that I like so much. And I would love to talk to my partner... Talking is fun and having a deep conversation would be nice, but too bad that my partner is working and I was left alone at home because I was sick:(
Thank you... I hope I would be better soon. Can't wait to get out and get a fresh air...

LOL... Yeah, I wasn't allowed to touch the computer. My partner knew it, that if I touched the computer, I would make myself busy all day and I wouldn't have sometime to rest. I was ill so that I should have the whole day bed rest so I could get recover soon.
If I am allowed to touch the computer, I wouldn't be so confused and desperate to find something fun to do to kill time at home. Alone. Computer-less. LOL.

That's true adinata. If my partner told me not to do anything and have a bedrest, I believe it is for my health. But it is so damn boring and I need to do something, even when I sick. Maybe something I can do in bed... Like pillow fight with myself or something like that?
LOL.
Just kidding. It's just because of the boredom.

Thank you so much, I hope I would be better soon too:D

I was really sick with the flu in Feb. For 3 weeks I laid in bed. I watched a lot of TV and slept a lot. I did read some books and the newspaper. I was too sick to get on the PC though. I like the music idea. I never thought of that when I was sick. lol.

Hi,
I agree that because you're sick, your body probably wants you to give it a break since your immune system is low, otherwise you wouldn't be sick right? That's a message from your body ( and your partner) that you have to start taking care of yourself so I would try to get as much sleep & rest as you can, so that you can start to get better. Yeah i know it's no fun being sick, but just think it's only temporary and you do need to get better. Well, if you can't surf the net, why not read a book or magazine, do sudoko, crossword puzzles, journal, or even listen to some relaxing music. Are you allowed to talk on the phone? That might make some of your time go by.
