I'm sorry for that last journal entry. I wrote it in the morning after not being able to sleep all night (forgot to take my medications) and felt very angry and upset by that point.

We scattered Grandma's ashes in the bay today, from the same pier where my family scattered Grandpa's ashes so many years ago. I hope Grandma and Grandpa are together now, wherever they are….

I still want to re-evaluate some things in my life. I think I could get away with checking SG once a day or once every few days, putting up a new journal entry now and then and replying to people. I just really need to stay away from the boards. If I get bored enough to check the boards, I know I need to find something else to do.

Now I will need to find more constructive things to do. I really want to read a lot more. I had been re-reading the Lord of the Rings, but I stopped and felt guilty about it. Maybe I can get back into it.

It's hard to think of hobby-type things that I might like to try. I like to work with my hands, and so many people are into different types of crafting. I have always had an interest in knitting or things like that. I don't know if I would have the patience for it.

I need to find somewhere to look to get some ideas for activities to try. Just a list of popular hobbies to give me ideas.

I've always liked collecting things in video games, so I wonder if I could translate that to collecting some kind of thing in real life. To do a stamp collection you pretty much have to get a lot of pen pals, as far as I understand. I wouldn't really be interested in collecting stamps, anyway.

I need hobbies that don't cost a lot of (or any) money. Although it costs money to buy video games (a hobby I'd like to continue), I might be playing one particular game for years to come, especially with games like Animal Crossing or Super Mario Bros.

I wonder what other things I can start doing. I'll have to think about it.
