Toxic Boredom...
I've learned to recognise the signs now, but every now and again, I just go with it, instead of distracting myself. This has lead to -
Turning cartwheels outside work. Work is a pub, on a busy road. The area manager was passing, and so my boss got a call from him, in the middle of the cash and carry, asking if his barmaid was alright...
(after DG's earlier post) Puddle Jumping! always guaranteed to put the smile back on my face, jumping and stomping in the puddles..
Using my UV post-code marker to draw CDCs on all the banknotes in the till.(I thought it'd make the bank staff laugh)
I found the shopping list for the next cash and carry visit, and so added stuff to it like, Weasels (free range for preference) jellies, wellies, and soot. A nice young man. Madeline McCann, and 3 unreleased recordings of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young fighting in the dressing room of the Filmore East. And loads of smiley faces...
Hide and seek, is one of the best things about parenthood. Fact. Trouble is, now my kids have grown up, and are therefore far too sophisticated for a quick game of Hide and Seek when there's nothing on the telly.

My son called me "Gay" the other day, so I just looked slowly up at him and said "Your Mum!"

Edit:- I am 43, you know...

"My son called me "Gay" the other day, so I just looked slowly up at him and said "Your Mum!" Class, any day now my son is going to call me gay and when he does, I will think of this and laugh.
BTW I can get you free range ferrets if you don't ask any questions ;)
