15 things to try if you're looking for a new hobby

I could probably use a new hobby, so here are some ideas (I would not do all of them).

  1. Something that gets you outdoors (like birding)
  2. Something that gets you moving (like running)
  3. Something that expresses your visual creativity (like painting)
  4. Something that expresses your physical creativity (like dancing)
  5. Something that expresses your practical creativity (like knitting)
  6. Something that expresses your musical creativity (like voice lessons)
  7. Something that expresses your delicious creativity (like cocktail making)
  8. Something that makes you a daredevil (like hang gliding)
  9. Something that gets you involved in your community (like volunteering to clean up a park)
  10. Something that allows you to show off a bit (like community theater)
  11. Something that allows you to pamper yourself (like nail art)
  12. Something that expands your knowledge (like taking a history class)
  13. Something that gets you politically active (like volunteering for an organization you believe in)
  14. Something that allows you to express your thoughts (like journaling)
  15. Something that gets you involved with animals (like horseback riding)

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
