Please give me some ideas… I already speak many languages, and have been learning Arabic since the summer… I am trying to take some classes, so I can fill up some of my time. I don’t know what else to do… I live in a very small space, hardly any room to exercise, no garden… What can I do? I’m totally out of ideas

@forwardsbackwardsrebound

Form a bubble with close friends and family.
But first, read what a bubble actually is. You can’t have one with your friends and family. It’s one other household and you can’t change it.

People seem to have no idea what bubbles should be.

Board games - we like Splendor, Sushi Go, Blokus, Exploding Kittens, Carcassonne.

Knitting - youtube is your friend. Or ask me and I will give you some tips.

Sewing

Yoga with Adrianne on Youtube

Geocaching if that's still a thing

Join an online choir or singing group over Zoom

Learn an instrument

Join a penpal club. I'd recommend this one.

Oh, and Audible / audiobooks in general has kept me sane although more when I'm feeling anxious and lonely and need to hear a soothing voice reading me something lovely when I'm getting ready to fall asleep.
