Hi @Earlysound ! Sorry to hear that you've had negative reactions to your situation in the past, people's ignorance can be so frustrating, but it's great that you don't feel you have to reveal more than you're comfortable with. Due to limited mobility/people's reactions when I'm in public, I spend a lot of time at home and have had trouble trying to fill it with things I enjoy. The few things I've found that really keep me occupied however are comedy podcasts (particularly Russell Brand on Radio X, or Off Menu), cooking, discovering new music, painting and other crafts like embroidery/knitting (except I can never keep at them), reading, and I'm not ashamed to say I watch a LOT of TV. I am also an Online Community Champion with Scope, as I wanted to find a volunteer role I could do online, and the hours are completely up to you so I recommend it

I love baking. I made vanilla cupcakes today with the kids. I’m hoping to start dancing lessons in the fall and am looking for a new tutor as well. I’m about to start a new job on Monday too. It’s in a office not far away.1

I can't understand how I ever had the time to work full time tbh. Daily chores seem to fill my day no problem.
(I'm not sure how I ended up commenting on such an old thread?)
