Yeah, my therapist said unfortunately the thing that neurotypical people don't get about being neurodivergent (as a whole) is that sometimes even resting can be exhausting. Which sounds bonkers, I know - but when you sit an think about it for two seconds you say...oh yeah - that is right.
Tinkering is always good, because you can help those around you learn to fish if they're willing. Then in turn...they can help others around them learn to fish...if they're willing. Or you can just work on open source stuff that helps everyone eat =P!
My gal loves Star Trek. She works with the tv on and I keep going out there and seeing her watching one of the new ones. I think her favorite might be the one with the female captain (Jane...Way? Idk - I probably have that wrong. Red headed woman). She said everyone hates it, but she likes it. It's probably the one I've seen the most of as a whole, and I liked it.
My gals' fav game is Breath of the Wild. But we both agree Horizon kinda creeps us out. I dig MoCap (I like it in the made by Supermassive) but there was something always off about Horizon to the two of us. Idk if it's the shadows or something as horror games tend to be dark, and Horizon as far as I remember it was super bright. On my end, it's Curious Expedition all the way. Hands down, my favorite game ever. It's on the Switch if you've got a vague interest in trying it out. Idk if you can mod it though, which really extends the lifespan of it on the PC.
Strength training is always good =)! Same with cycling, although it's not really taken on as much out here. Is Lapland where the indigenous folks are? I gave it a look and saw the reindeer. Just making an assumption, feel free to fill in blanks if you'd liek.
Beds are good, and I <3 mine. Well, no actually. I tolerate mine. I like zzzping on the floor more =P!
Cheers buddy!
