“I’m Boring and I Like It”

Daily writing prompt
List five things you do for fun.

Five things I do for fun:

  1. Drink coffee. Simple, but it’s real.
  2. Walk my cat Simba in his green constellation harness—morning, and sometimes evening if it’s not too cold.
  3. NBA 2K26 practice mode. Not full games. I go into practice and work on one move for 10–15 minutes. It calms me down. I get to be creative without anyone on the other side making it hard—just fundamentals.
  4. Draw. When I’m not falling asleep in my chair with my feet up on the ottoman after walking around all day, I sit down and sketch. Scribble mode. Finding the signal.
  5. Watch movies. Theater if I can, or I pick something from the 900+ movies I’ve collected over the years. Then I usually write a little or sketch a little after.

I know. I’m boring. I’m probably very, very boring to many humans on earth. 😂

Question: What’s one “boring” thing you do that actually keeps you sane?
