My Kindle is filled with great books, I'm never bored.

When not working:

Walking
Exercise at home (assuming the gym is closed)
Catching up with people by phone
Spring house cleaning
Work on a craft
Purge unwanted clothing and HH goods
Cook & bake
Wash the car inside & out
Clean out the closet
Clean the yard of winter debris (weather permitting)

@queendiva great idea about closet and purging - perhaps good to start the spring changeover early, weed out and drop off at Rescue Mission.

We can turn anything negative into a positive. My nephew is going to clean out all three kids rooms and paint the oldest one and transition it from a girls room into a teens room. He also said he is going to teach the boy to learn about the basics of car ownership. I think he should do that to the girls also but that is a whole other subject.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

@Warrior2022 which coloring book looked like fun to you? walking more would definitely be good - for cardio, for fresh air, for a little trim-down for me.

Not sure if you really wanted to know but Mine is called promises to bless your heart.

@Sooner i'm putting "P & P" on my list! have you been out to see the new "Emma" - i found it so charming and well-done.

@ms traditional Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check that out! I think you will LOVE this series. Colin Firth and all the rest are wonderful.

Mr. Collins and the mother almost steal the show! OH MY NERVES!!!!

@Nancy Drew yes, i see this as a way to do something out of my normal routine. keep working on your nephew about girls needing info on cars too.!

Midsomer Murders - available on Prime - we love it!
i love that series too. have you watched "Inspector Morse" ? @FastDogWalker2

I enjoy Midsomer Murders too. I watch for free, via Roku on Pluto TV, channel 375. It airs episodes continuously, 24/7.
