I've been home on short term disability for 5 weeks (but of course someone dropped the ball and I haven't received one check yet) and I'm getting bored out of my mind. I don't want to do mundane chores...who wants to do that....plus my house is clean, my laundry is done, have groceries....what the heck else is there?

I'm in Ohio and it's dreary and rainy out side. I've done my fair share of reading, puzzles, going to the library, posting on this forum and some shopping. I can't afford to do any expensive activities right now. I'm better when my husband is home, but he works 11 hour days, then bowls on a league twice a week, plus is restoring an old car- so many hours in the garage after work.

I see my Pdoc tomorrow and I really think I'm just gonna have to tell him he needs to let me go back to work the last week of Oct., that would give me over a week to prepare.

I just can't stand it!...not to mention it's lonely!
