It is not that I am overwhelmed with work - it is that my job is too easy; I'm bored and don't feel creative or fullfilled.

Home for me is the High Desert, away from cities ... I think because when I'm there, I'm physically elated, more content. The altitude, lower humidity, agrees with me. I like the kind of wildlife and people I find there. It's easier for me to let go of stress and get to the basic "me."
I feel at home when I feel completely myself, none of the parts missing or weak or sick. I can get short periods of this, but it takes work.
I hope, Christine, you'll get a thorough physical soon--blood work on thyroid and liver and all.
How about talking with your supervisor ar work and taking on more responsibility? Forget pay for the moment--ask about representing the company on Community boards or in some Volunteer Service capacity? This will let your employer know you have more to offer ... and perhaps they will find better use for you within the company.
