Outside of digi or hybrid scrapbooking, what do you do in your free time?
 
what do you do in your free time?
Honestly depends on fatigue levels but watching reality television would be up there. Spending time with friends and family is/has been of high personal value to me too - honestly spending a few hours with my best friend at a mall, window shopping & catching up over lunch is my kind of thing or thrift shopping with my mum if fatigue allowed would be right up there too.
 
One thing I like to do in my free time is go to lunch with the women in my neighborhood. I like to go out to eat but DH doesn’t so this way I don’t have to go alone.
 
Lately, it has been working on jigsaw puzzles while watching tv.

I've been taking Zyrtec due to allergy season and it makes my normal dry eyes much, much dryer so I can't spend much time on the computer. So to give my eyes a rest from all screens, I've been doing the jigsaw puzzles.
 
My fav thing would be to go out to eat with family or a friend. In reality, I spend way too much of my time parked in my chair reading, streaming shows, or surfing the net. With the warmer weather I need to get back to walking in the evenings.
 
I take a photography workshop that keeps me busy with photography projects almost every week. I also take a Tai Chi class once a week (and practice the rest of the week). We eat out a lot and go to a fair number of movies. Lots of reading and/or tv time too.
 
Now the weather is better, we like to go for a walk most days. We like to go out to eat at least once a week and I go for lunch with my mum once a week. We also love to spend time with the grandkids whenever we get the chance.
 
spend a lot of time with family
Travel
swim in my parents pool in the summer or take the kids to the beach (its more of a river beach)
Cook a lot
Make bracelets
Learning Arabic
 
I like to watch cooking competitions on Netflix or Hulu, casually reading novels, and lately, just kind of out of the blue, I've been into watching belligerent women getting arrested on YouTube. Cop body cams capture it all. Ai yi yi. I hope I never embarrass myself or my family like that, but alcohol and drugs definitely make people act out badly. My dad was a cop, and later a county jail administrator, and he always tried to get me to go into criminal psychology, so I also like to watch the interrogation videos of murderers. They are just so calm, cool, and collected. What is going on in their demented little brains? So yeah...mild-mannered scrapper by day, Sherlock Holmes by night.
 
:giggle What's free time?
I'll probably remember in about 3 weeks when summer vacation starts. Until then, I don't really have much.
What time I do have I like to go to the gym. In the summer I love to read and play Pickleball when I get a chance.
 
I like to go to the gym, go for long walks, hike with my husband, read, sew and quilt. I used to crochet years ago and am hoping to get back into it-- I bought a bunch of yarn and a few crochet hooks over the winter and need to actually start crocheting again!
