Things have gotten monotonous. I even bore myself sometimes. Day in and day out it is same old, same old...
I need to break things up a little. I could try bungee jumping I suppose, but that might break things up a lot, mainly ME! Lol...
So, do you ever feel yourself getting into a rut. If so, how do you nudge yourself out of it??

When I get in a rut, I just lift my right leg and step out of it.

@jahunt Go do something. It is just boredom. Go see a movie, or try out a new eatery. Go for a walk in a park, take a shower with your clothes on. Just do something different.

I am really happy with what I do each day. I don't really embrace change well, and change happens that I can't control in my life so my routine I am okay with it staying the same.

@jahunt Well thank you so much for the compliment. I have been through a lot in my life, so I think it's mostly experience from all I have gone through.

Hi Patsie! I hadn't had a chance to get on it a couple of days. Yes, it does help pass the time!

There are so many little ways that you can break your monotony. Even rearranging furniture could be an interesting proposition.

Well I would not bungee jump to get out of a rut!! LOL!
I was in a rut a few days ago. Thought about cutting my long hair to my shoulders. I have to retreat, breathe, and talk occupy myself with other things.

Since I have a place in the open country. Whenever I feel my lifestyle is becoming a boring routine, I pack and go camping; I may stay there for three days. The nights are the one which give me more satisfaction, since I can observe the starry skie with zero light pollution.
When returning, I renewed approach is always sensed within me.

@jahunt Yes, it is! During the nights, I not only observe the stars, but I also go walking with my dogs (Kenia, algodon) who accompany me and act as my body guards. It´s a thrill that travels through the body to go into the dark and into the bushes with my dogs smelling and hunting for their protein needs.

Oh yes, I believe you, except about the legal part! Omg...Hillary Clinton is giving a speech. Am I the only one that wishes that someone would please give that woman a cough drop! She always sounds like she has a frog in her throat... LOL!

Yes, I think it's the work home, sleep work again scenario that gets to me sometimes. Lol!
