It staves off mental stagnation though, doesn’t it? I am not a thumb twiddler, I like to have things I can turn to at any moment. Save to say, I am rarely bored. 
I remember the last time I was bored, and I quite enjoyed it actually. I think it is good to be bored on occasion, but I think it benefits a younger, maturing brain more so than a creaky set of cogs like mine.

So very true! I don’t have time to be bored. And if I am, I am catching up on sleep, and have less than boring dreams!

I don’t have the actual mental capacity for the feeling of boredom anymore, I could literally sit and watch paint dry 
I can laugh at anything funny now, including myself But some areas of emotion are still numb to me, stuck in neutral, some have to be faked for sake of propriety 
I can get slightly annoyed/irritated/impatient occasionally, but it’s very short lived like it’s too much effort for the brain to sustain or be bothered with

These are the kind of things people really need to know, or at least I do. These feelings and thoughts that seem somewhat foreign to me. Acknowledging them makes it easier to understand them when they come up and to treat them as what they generally are…temporary! Apathy can be good or bad depending on the situation. Sometimes, I don’t have the feelings one would expect at the time, and occasionally, not caring enough to bother keeps me out of other people’s business, or from trying to fix everything for everyone.

Parties or anywhere you are with a large group of people, that’s when it becomes exhausting. I frequently have to rely on other peoples actions and responses for cues, and that gets so tiresome. I almost feel wooden in my response when I have to fake it, but it also becomes tiresome to explain why.

I don’t even try to explain that one. I generally feign more tiredness than I feel and close my eyes if I can’t leave, or go to my room if at home.
I do get tired of explaining that I need to follow, not lead, as I can’t see well enough to lead with the distraction of someone rushing me along while trying to converse with me. If I turn my head or look up, we are both going to smack the ground.

So far I intend:
search in garden and around house for a start
examine any spoil on surface
use trowel to dig a little
a pin point detector to examine small areas
try search on ‘all metals’ – gold or silver I’m not fussy
Well, somehow beyond, yet beside everything else, it arrived.
It now sits in a corner with a spade, a bag on a belt, some batteries and assorted paraphernalia.
I got it out of its box and put it together. It seems to be working okay.
All I need is a way to get to the beach, together with a treasure map describing where those pirates hid the treasure.
The weather is perfect.

Be a good egg and any junk you*find bag take home and bin. Save others from getting disappointed. I wish you good luck. I must get my act together, fancy doing it again. Never found anything of value but had enjoyable time
