I have a habit of standing and watching water boil for no reason. Is that normal?

One time, I was in the kitchen preparing my usual plain pasta when I found myself mesmerized by the sight of the water starting to bubble and boil in the pot. I stood there, lost in thought, just watching the water heat up for what seemed like hours. It was a strangely calming experience, and I found myself doing it more and more often. I've probably watched about 50 gallons of water boil this week. I brought up to my coworker, who helped me understand that this behavior could be a coping mechanism for feelings about mother, who cheats at Scrabble and no one like a cheater.
