I can understand how some people can be bored on disability, but I think it has to do with how your own mind works. Of course, feeling really lousy, all I want is rest or just hibernate, but when I'm better my mind always has something for me. I also use the computer a lot, without it maybe I would get bored watching TV and reading books I don't know.

Also I appreciate my cats. Even when they are just there there is a sense of something going on. (And then you get extra work scooping litter boxes!)

I still wish I was healthy. If I worked all day long I would still have days off. When I was like totally free. Chores done. With illness you are never FREE, you never have holiday or weekend away from your stuff....

That is what healthy people don't get when they think we have it so good. I even had a care worker telling me my life was an eternal holiday...
