I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I've lost a bit of my identity. I didn't have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I'm lacking inspiration. I can't work until my license is approved so I've had days of doing nothing since May 7. It's been great but it's starting to get boring; I can only play so much Zelda and doom scroll so often.

So whatcha got? What do you like to do? What are some hobbies or passions everyone has? What are non-drinking related activities to do with a partner or friends?

I like embroidery, baking and cooking, exercising, and jigsaw puzzles. I just started my biggest one ever -- 5000 pieces. It takes up about half of our living room floor, but we don't have a table big enough.

My husband and I play Scrabble together, and have for the past 19 years. I even made our wedding cake topper to be two people playing Scrabble. We also have a notebook that keeps up with our scores, and unfortunately it notes that I've been on a losing streak lately!

As a family, with our 14yo, they like to go birding (it's not my thing), or we play cards or board games.

Please consider posting pictures of your 5000 piece puzzle on the Lemmy Jigsaw Puzzles community. The biggest jigsaw puzzle we did was 2000, I don't think we could do anything bigger than that.

I did finish this 3000-piece puzzle in May. I bought it used so I was amazed that it still had all the pieces. It took a couple months.

Nice! Most puzzles we do are from thrift shops, many times they are complete, and occasionally we get one still in the sealed bag.
