What to do in lockdown?

[Pentagathusosaurus rex]

Sup peeps, we're back in a second lockdown and I'm really getting bored this time. Life was pretty weird for me during the first one so I didn't really notice it too much, but now it would getting back to something vaguely normalish if it weren't for the lockdown. I work monday to friday and I have absolutely nothing work related to do when I'm not at work, I'm not a student atm either. By the time I've finished work and walked the dog it's usually dark so I don't mind watching stuff on the youtube in the evenings or reading/audiobooking but I really don't know what to do with myself on the weekends. Especially when the weather sucks.
What have you folks been doing to stay sane?

TTRPG-ing more has been one of the biggest shifts I guess, and the usual creative projects, tinkering with writing RPG notes and game design. I'm also getting through work so slowly that that leaks into weekends a lot too sometimes... also various online things. You should come to the next Exilian virtual pubmoot

For me it's similarly been creative projects, my game one that's been something that's ongoing for a while now. I've also been spending more time on other things I don't usually do for lack of time: using my graphics tab to draw things and playing a bit more guitar.

Also finding a nice long game to enjoy is a good time sink.

Seconded!!

I could probably manage a virtual pubmoot

Well, sane is a loaded term what with the depression I am being treated for and the neurodiversity.  I have a backlog of books to read and books and articles to write (and my new one which I need to market), and I need to find a job and set up things in my new country, so those take up a lot of the limited function I have right now.  I have also been thinking alot about the things I learned over the past decade about how my brain works, and about those groups which went a direction I did not expect.  I hope to finish some sewing projects but often finishing them requires a fiddly bit and my brain is not always up to those.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I do. I just tend to ignore most emails because they pop up on my phone and I tell them to go away immediately because I don't like to read emails on my phone.

Books are good, books are always good.
