So, what keeps an agoraphobic busy when they're completely housebound? There are a lot of things one can do besides sitting on the couch watching TV (although I did go through that phase myself). Of course you must make attempts to go outside...therapy in all. But, what I'm talking about is filling the rest of your day as a whole. You have the norms...cooking, cleaning, laundry and the such. Perhaps you have a hobby or two to fill in those gaps when there's nothing much else to do. Me...I got hobbies...I got a lot of hobbies! I love to make wooden lawn and garden decorations. I also play games on my computer but I limit my time because I can easily become one of those hermits with empty food containers, overflowing ashtrays, empty soda cans and assorted candy wrappers completely burying me and my computer.
I have three dogs which are the love of my life, so they take up part of my day between taking them out for walks, feeding them and grooming them. In addition to my lovely little critters, I took on the responsibility of fostering 4 (yes FOUR) rat terrier mix puppies. Feed them, walk them, socialize them, bathe them, housebreak them and just give them all the love and attention they need. UGH!!!!
Perhaps I've bitten off more then I can chew!! Perhaps? UGH!!!! O.K. I've got that out of my system (for now). These puppies need good, loving homes and I will tend to the needs of these puppies until they have homes of their own. That being said, this morning I wake up to....well how do I explain it...woke up to...oh hell I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. You know a picture is worth a 1000 words! HOWEVER, I don't want to discourage anyone from fostering animals until they have good homes. It is very rewarding and knowing you've saved the life of a critter is payment enough. I highly recommend fostering an animal for agoraphobics, as it helps you as much as the animal. Please consider this as it is also very therapeutic.
Now for my pics (go ahead have your laughs):
