Some of us learned a foreign language. Some of us learned to code. Some of us took up baking. Some of us became woodworkers. Aaaanndd some of us went fucking crazy.

I'm kind of curious what people here did (other than spending time on s/LGBDropTheT and TERFing out).

Other than settling into a new job I was hired into right before the pandemic started, I got really serious about meditation. My husband really perfected his cooking and gardening skills.

I took up painting (canvasses and walls in my house), went off all medications (yay!), lost 50 pounds, started daily bike riding, and I’ve read so many books.

We also put solar panels and a back up battery on the house for the coming dystopian future.

I got into cryptic crosswords for a while. Pre-pandemic I would religiously do the crossword in the morning paper on my way to work, and then again in the evening paper on my way home. One of the things I miss most about the office is the little huddle of colleagues in the kitchen who would have all attempted the same one. Most of the papers include a cryptic crossword as well as a quick crossword and I usually attempted a few of the cryptic clues without ever really finishing a puzzle, but I bought and read a couple of books on the 'theory' and have been having a little more luck.

I have no garden and a tiny kitchen, so the 'typical' lockdown hobbies of baking sourdough and gardening were denied me. I probably should have picked up a new language (or at least worked on one of the ones I already speak) but I mostly spent it in my chair, reading and getting slowly more annoyed as the world went mad.

Started college (I was just working before, but lost my job) and improved my cooking skills as well, but I still have a long way to go lol. This would make a great thread in s/LGB once it opens.

I improved my cooking and started with a bullet journal and managing my budget and decluttering. I also watched everything on netflix and prime -_-

Got engaged. Bought a house. Started learning Italian and Python. Began a massive review of math because I want to go back to school. Took up boxing at home. It’s been a wild 18 months.

I've been meaning to do a maths review since... well basically since I stopped doing maths. I found the textbooks on OpenStax were a great place to start with the basic basics like long division etc.

I was a couple of months into a Jan to Dec postgraduate degree programme at university when it started.

My university was able to quickly move things around and convert everything to a completely online programme. So I spent my time alternating between worrying about covid properly breaking out in my country and doing uni work. In some ways I am jealous that others got a couple of months of free time to do whatever they wanted while I was busy writing essays.

But I should be thankful that due to the "hard and fast" response of my country that I was able to go on holiday up to the mountain towns and visit most of the sulphur hot pools. Plus my focus at university allowed me to get excellent grades and allowed me to score a good job in my new career.

I finished off craft projects, but things have been pretty relaxed here since mid-July last year, so I didn't have a lot of time on my hands outside of uni and work.

I decided to use more of the free time to develop my already existing skills even better. To be fair I don't wanna specify which one to keep my anonimity safe. But I made a lot of progress and I feel happy about it I didn't waste the time I am given.

I started drawing again, and working out.

Listening to more opera, and learning macrame.
