Attack of the Zombie Boredom Virus

I've very rarely been crushingly bored in my life before. However, the past week or so has been so uneventful that I've felt like sitting down in a quiet room and crying, if only to have something to do.

Highlights of this week:
Monday: I'm quite sure that absolutely nothing happened, but I could be wrong. First recorded day of the still-ongoing "must use laptop if wanting internet/computer access" tyranny.

Tuesday: I almost went to Donegal, but didn't. I can't remember why the trip down was cancelled.

Wednesday: My mother and Kathryn went to Donegal. I stayed behind and washed a door.

Thursday: Louise finally returns from Donegal. Background noise level of house increases by 125%. Extra children suddenly appear while I'm babysitting, as Louise and Kathryn are magnanimous indeed in offering their home as a place for others to play. I get a fairly severe headache. Kathryn leaves the door lying open many times, I tell her to close it many times, I get angry, she gives me a pitying look for doing so. During all of this I'm still bored, just more frustrated.

Friday: I babysit again. I also bake things, which alleviates boredom for roughly 40 minutes. Sisters and da leave for Donegal. My aunt drops off a big bag o' bikinis to look through for the trip to Mallorca (the end of the month cannot come quickly enough at this point).

Saturday: Realise that how bored I am is reflected by my slightly excessive happiness when my new passport arrives, but sadly the presence of the passport becomes a "normal" thing (and therefore boring) within about 20 minutes. I wash another door, attempt laundry, and wonder when I'll be allowed to use the PC in the kitchen again. I miss MSN games and music.

Obviously showers happened in these days too, but they're hardly highlights.

[sigh]

I think I'll be going to bed early tonight.
