Groundhog Day

I woke up this morning with this feeling and started an inventory of stuff I do, then some fellow posted a remark involving chess which is on my inventory so I took that as a sign to create this thread.

I wake up every morning, median wake up time of around 5:30, and think "Well here we go again. Another verse, same as the first." Like just going through the motions. My routine starts. Coffee. Do some reading. Check on the Pelicanheads and some others. Wife gets up, I bring her coffee. Eventually I take a shower and get dressed, though sometimes that is pajamas pants and a sweatshirt. I make a smoothie, give half to Lois Lane and drink the other half. Do some chore around the house. Clean something (I like to clean things). Organize an area (my garage and my office usually look like the scene of a burglary). Practice some music. Maybe paint. Play golf. Gardening. I do have hobbies and such.

And yet....it seems like the same ol' routine. But on the other hand, I am old enough to not love "eventful" days where I deal with crises or unusual things or inconvenient things. I used to think life was a bit more fun when it was difficult. Now I don't think that. I retired 18 months ago, so now there are no dragons to slay. But do I really want to slay dragons again?

Maybe I just should find some more hobbies? But i do have plenty of those. Maybe volunteer? Maybe teach a community college class.

I'm bored, and not sure whether to do anything about it or not.
