Things To Do When Bored At Home

Wow, what a time we live in!

Who would have thought that social distancing would be the norm?

As alone as it feels, just remember, the whole world is experiencing this “new way of life”. 

None of us are used to this.

In fact, staying at home is downright boring!

Most of us don’t even know what to do with ourselves.

At first, the thought of staying home wasn’t a big deal.

However, I think we all can agree that after a few weeks into it, and hearing that it could last for several months longer, we are all getting tired of staying home.

Especially if you are alone! 

I get it, you may be wondering what can I do at home alone, and thinking that binge-watching T.V. is your only choice. 

Trust me, there are plenty of things you can do!

As hard as social distancing is, we must do it! For our safety and the ones we love! 

We truly are all in this together!
