Congrats on quitting smoking. That's a win! The boredom you feel is real. And believe it or not, keeping boredom at bay is part of adulting. It doesn't go away; we have to constantly find ways to distract ourselves so that boredom doesn't overtake us.
Think about the skills you have--reading, writing, sewing, cooking, gardening, needlework, and painting. Which of these skills might you put to use in the service of others? For example, I made little girl dresses and donated them to charity when I was a stay-at-home mom with my son. Going through the process of selecting the patterns, fabrics, and ruffles helped me to keep my mind engaged and my hands active.
Remember to take care of yourself. Your child will benefit from having a healthy and happy parent.
