I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to keep myself occupied during the approaching warm-weather months. According to the calendar, spring will be here in 29 days. There’s no telling what lockdown/curfew restrictions could be implemented this year, and I want to be mentally prepared. I live in the city, and like many other city dwellers, I don’t have access to a private outdoor space larger than a postage stamp. This means that most of the time I spend outside is in the public sphere. If access to the public sphere is restricted, I’m not left with very much. Here’s my preliminary list of things I plan to do this spring at home and/or outside when permitted. A woman can’t live on outdoor dining and online shopping alone.
- writing
- reading
- sketching
- practicing calligraphy
- making greeting cards
- sewing
- embroidery
- filming and editing short videos
- morning walks
- meditating
- visiting museums
- attending educational Zoom lectures/events

- Les Mills dance workouts
- jumping rope
- watching non-English films
- making non-English Spotify playlists
- listening to podcasts
- MasterClass courses
- experimenting with low-carb, vegetarian cooking
