I workout almost evry day. It gets me out of the house but thats average 1-2 hours. I have a Zumba class at noon today and it cant come soon enough. I packed up my car while DH ran an errand with dirty laundry, a change of clothes, some food and my computer. Im going to spend the day at my parent's empty house and do laundry and enjoy my day alone while DH, who is feeling slightly better btw, will be handling the feral offspring. I told him he better do SOMETHING besides watch tv while they look at screens. The reason SS12 is acting like a maniac is because he hasnt been sleeping. IMHO, i think the lack of sleeping is due to #1 his adhd causes a struggle to sleep, 2 his lack of activity due to screen time his body is not tired even if his brain is and 3 due to screen time his brain is overstimulated and sleep does not come easy to him. So I had a quick convo with DH this morning telling him he needs to stimulate the boy's body and mind today without screen time!

What DH does not know is that I am making myself scarce for the day. He will figure it out when he sees that huge mound of laundry is missing. I will tell him before I leave to have a fun daddy/son day and that Im going to do some things so I wont be back after class. I dont just disappear, although id like to at times.

Back to the new hobby. Since I can only work out so much per day, I need another productive, healthy hobby to keep me busy and happy and get me out of the house. Also relatively inexpensive since working out is starting to cost me since I pay by the class. If I dont find something productive to do, I might have to resort to day drinking which is neither healthy nor inexpensive. Most of my friends, god love them, are from my drinking days so any activity they do winds up at the bar. Ive even dragged them to a Zumba class and after...hey lets go to the bar. I know i need new friends. Made friends at the gym...instructors no less and we went out to watch football at the bar!!

Any hobby recommendations?
