Crossword puzzles keep me very busy. Reading as well, but like you say...one can read only so much.

I work until after dark since my soap-making shop is next to the house....work until i drop since i love it so much!

Take a nice, long, hot bath too.

Can you find a friend you can visit to play some scrabble (NOT the on line kind!) When my Dad used to work nights and the four of us kids were in bed, Mom had a neighbor to play Scrabble or cards with. I wish i had a friend to play with.

DH and i play Cribbage sometimes three times/day. Why not take it up? It's addictive AND very good for keeping the brain thinking/active.
