Things I'm going to do for me today

I am going to explore the things that interest me starting today.
I need a place for my mind to go to.
So, as a start, I'm clearing off my husband's hobby desk and taking it over (he's never used it in over a year, and I did ask first)
I have an old mac computer that I was going to donate (and still might), but I'll set it up and clean out the old files first.
I have a strong interest in science and nature, to that end the theme of my new corner is that.
I have ordered a great little usb microscope that will work off of my laptop (and maybe the mac?)
I'm going to regress for a while into what might seem like school projects like maybe an ant farm.
I'm not going to allow any idea to be too silly to attempt because after all it's only for my own amusement.
 
I have thought about other ideas too, but I don't want to do activities that would be reactionary to show ED that I'm having fun etc, I want to do things for real, pure reasons for my own enjoyment.
In the past I have worried about criticism from ED and possibly her friends, no more.
 
Also, I bought a hat off of ebay to wear to go walking with. It's the one the Miami Ink girl wears, I thought it was cute (I hope not too young for me), but I'm not trying to impress anyone.
 
I have discovered that talismans work good for me. What I mean by that is that an object can help me remember my 'mantras' like the rubberband bracelets the kids wear (but more like maybe a macramé bracelet). I'm not getting religious here, it's just that tangible object help for me. I'm thinking maybe a new silver ring, necklace, or bracelet. We just to have pocket worry stones back in the day. Idk, eBay's great for those things, cheap ha ha .
Well, off to set up the mac.
