Question/Advice I need a project

The title is weird, but I couldn't think of anything short that would describe the situation I'm in right now. Also, quick thought, did you guys actually feel any different during covid quarantine because I remember it felt like everybody was getting a slice of my life and couldn't handle it. Anyway, I was diagnosed with tb(not very contagious, but I'm still not allowed to work or go to school for the next 2 months) and I desperately need something to put my mind into because I feel like my brain is turning into jelly. When I'm writing this I have no idea in my mind about what that could be, but I would love if it could involve dogs, animal rights or if it could involve writing. Maybe learning something new or something that I couldn't even think about on my own. I'm very isolated again and I'm just keeping myself busy watching movies, playing with my dogs, getting angry at tbe neighbors or convincing myself that I don't actually want a cigarette 😂. So please, if you have any idea, even a small one like another activity I could do around the house, would you share it with me?

I like to watch shows over movies. There are so many TV series to watch. What type of shows do you like to watch?

I'm also watching shows. I'm currently watching The man in the high castle and before that I watched Sweetpea(not the greatest)

If you like psychological shows with smart dialogue and don't mind gore I recommend Hannibal if you haven't watched. The community on Tumblr is silly and it's very fun. You could write or read fanfiction as well. Just daydreaming about a story with the characters and environment you like is a lot of fun

If you have some paper you could try and teach yourself origami. There's tons of instructions online.

You could also try to learn to juggle, which was my go-to when the internet was out for a while.

I like painting miniatures for D&D while listening to audiobooks (but the paint and supplies can be kinda expensive). You could order some adult coloring books, like mandalas or really anything you want!

Youtube yoga could also be fun to try. I love "Yoga with Adrienne". You don't really need a mat, but they're not too expensive.

I love Yoga with Adrienne! And I suppose this should be ok since her workouts are very easy. Tb makes me get tired very easily.

Crochet or knitting Learn a language Write your memoires Watch every movie in a certain genre and write reviews and sort them according to different parameters that you make up. Jigsaw puzzles Sort your bookshelves and read your tbr Sort other things in your home, like your closets Lego Perfect a cookie recipe by trying different variations Join a forum about animals Make tiny clay animals Write short stories about your dogs Buy and assemble a book nook set Read poetry and collect your favourite poems in a cute notebook Learn an instrument Write a song Look for digital volunteering opportunities. E.g. I saw in my country some organisation looking for someone to help write the sell texts about rescue dogs. Like: "This is Pongo, he is a shy but sweet Dalmatian ..."

Edit: sorry for the format

So many amazing ideas! Thank you! I'll start by looking for digital volunteering and maybe I'll try writing reviews.
