Maybe asked the wrong question..........................

OK, been doing some thinking, and I believe that I asked my previous question incorrectly.

Basically, I hate down time, so if I have 10 minutes or more of lag time, with nothing to do, I get antsy. I need ideas to fill little spaces of time, between other things, besides pacing the house, lol. Active, impromptu calorie burning things.

I just don't want to sit, any more than I have to, during my waking hours.

    I am allergic to housework, but you could always do a task like sweep the porch, fold some clothes, wipe down the shower, etc.

    Turn on the music and start dancing. A song typically lasts 3-4 minutes. If you are sitting in a chair do leg lifts or arm circles or toe taps.

Yes, I do dumbbells, LOVE to put on great music and dance!!

Online videos are not an option. Only internet we have is expensive, has a data cap that is VERY difficult to stay under, unused data doesn't roll over, but they charge an arm & a leg if we go over.

It's just that I have A LOT of energy, can't work due to disability, have to do things for short periods or it increases my pain level. I do help a friend in her deli about 10 hours a week. I only sleep about 6 hours a day, so have A LOT of time to try and fill.

Candidate, I have a coloring book called " Color me 2" , I think there's 1-4 , google Colormeyourway, com or contact the Illustator Pam at pjcsmart @gmail, com

Candidate, I love Lacy Mucklow's books which you can get on Amazon. I also like the Zentangle books - also can be found on Amazon. I also like to do Mandalas. While you can get coloring books with mandalas, you can also find tons of these and other adult coloring pages to print off the computer! I also like to play with different kinds of coloring instruments. If you have a Christian background, you should check out the Illustrated Faith Website! So cool!

Thanks @@pink dahlia and @@choosehope I will check into those. Appreciate the suggestions!

I love to colour!

I also like to paint rocks, which I haven't done in a while.

Let our creative juices flow........................

Absolutely! I'm very OCD about cleaning, but it's just me to clean up after, so that runs out..............

Can you bottle some of that energy for me? I could sure use it for my house. ;)
