Find the weirdest thing in a field and examine it

Go out looking for things. Depends where you live of course but in the last 2 months I've found a scarf, a pair of work gloves, two neck warmers, two hats, two t-shirts, and more

Do some push-ups

I'm spending a lot of time in the kitchen. For the instruments stuff, I've tried to learn guitar but I'm a moron so it will take too long. I cleaned the house twice today. All this is trivial of course, but I've run out of ideas to entertain myself and keep it together. I'm reading 2 books currently but I don't want to rush and finish them fast because not one library/ book store is operating right now.

Are you learning acoustic guitar?

@cakelover "learning" is a big word. I actually just put on a youtube video and use a guitar belonging to my brother's friend. I gave up though.

I love cooking though. I can't bake cakes but I can make donuts which I'm actually proud. I make good donuts - its my opinion.

I learnt to make pasta sauce, chow mein, tandoori/ butter chicken, dumplings (niouk yen, sao mai etc...).

Sounds like you've made decent cooking progress!
Do you write?

You mean the recipes? I just look it up online and write them in a notebook. If you mean fiction, then no.
cakelover · 3 years ago
Fair. I meant fiction or otherwise. Have you considered writing down your dreams?

Find an immersive video game? Idk... I'm about to snap from boredom as well. I wanna go shoot hoops, but the past few months it's either been to cold, to windy (mainly windy and all the indoor courts are closed and anything over like 10 mph outside screws up 3's so bad it's not worth going out to shoot after a year in such winds), on nice days I've had to cram in yardwork or other outdoor maintenance things. On top of that it seems like as soon as I fix something inside my house, something else breaks. I got HBO Max for a month though, so at least I got that goin' for me.

In regards to the "go looking for things" premise - I wasn't looking for anything but one day a few months back I went for a walk and I found:
-a terrarium (with snake skin inside - wasn't a suitable home actually, though)
`
-a set of three of those kinds of chairs you'd see attached to a school desk. But there was no desk, just three of these seats and backrests attached to a metal bar (I had questions, but there were no answers)
`
-a dog (or he found me actually, though his owners were nearby)
`
A filing cabinet and a bookcase (casualties of a failed garage sale)
`
-disposable masks on the ground
`
-Three pairs of underwear. Possibly they were all men's. They were not in the same locations.

Baking sounds like a great way to pass the time (until you eat everything :P)
`
Have you tried making some of your own recipes?
