I have five articles that I want to write. I did manage to get a workout in today. That definitely helps break up the monotony. I tagged you for a meme.

When I mean boring, I mean monotonous - it can still be the same thing every day just like working in an office. Online forums, groups, and social networking sites are great to combat the lonliness. You're able to chat with others in your same situation. Sometimes message boards are a good break from long hours alone. Thanks for the post.

My life saver has been connecting with other adults. I have a four-year old daughter and as much as I love her I do crave adult conversation. I'm a member of a gym and my way to break the monotony has been to make sure I include that into my weekly routine. I have a workout partner and I look forward to not only our workouts but the interaction. :-) I used to get on IM; however, a few of my friends that don't work would take up too much of my time online every time they saw me online they would try to chat. That was a time waster! :-) A few of my friends don't understand that working from home is a lot of work! In total, I’ve been working from home for two years.
