Am I getting bored ? Okay here is it goes - Yes , I am getting bored - just a little. I feel bad for even saying it out loud. This city is so fun and amazing that I am sure some people would say, "how can you ever get bored in a place like Dubai "? But, I keep thinking, while Jeff is at work, I could be:
*Doing something that would contribute to our household - It is very strange to not have my own income or at least be a contributing member.
*Go back to school and broaden my education/ skills and mind. Why,not ?
*Find a full time or part time job - I have always liked to work. Some would say, "You should enjoy the fact that you are not working", but for us work- a-holic's, we find the stress and activity of a good days work very fulfilling. Idle time or if we are not contributing, it drives us nuts. Now that I don't really need to work I should just relax and take it easy, don't commiserate. It is so hard to explain.
*Find something that will help me feel fulfilled.
*Keep me busy during the day and out of trouble. I love to shop, but really...how much shopping can one person do every day.
Right now, I can find enough to keep me busy, but I can tell that it will not be enough in the future.
But then it goes back to the big question, if I decide to work - full time or part time time - what would I do? Jeff keeps asking, "what would you be interested in doing that you have never done before"? Well, all the things that interest me would take a little schooling. Should I go back to school ? Am I too old to start over? How about volunteering my time to one of the many volunteer organizations around the United Arab Emirates ?
So much to think about. No decisions need to be made now, but maybe sooner than later.
What do the rest of you think ? I would love to hear.

You would be a GREAT volunteer somewhere.. you're such a dedicated, hard-working NICE women, you'd be valued. And if I were you, I'd take advantage of the opportunities to learn more things... art? anything? Go for it!
