In order to help with a poopy anxiety-ridden past few (seems like an eternity) months, I started baking. Cakes, biccies, big cakes, small cakes, muffins and other yummies.

Tried a 'sugar free' version of cupcakes with splenda, which were a bit heavy but I ate them all the same ! (as did my Dad, T2 too, polishing off the last few out of the cake tin)

How strange is it that I get a kick out of making all sorts of delicious things which I am restricted to eat ?! But it helps with the anxiety. And, more to the point, people have started to order cakes from me. Woah ! Do I give up my full time job and go into the cake making business ?? (of course the answer is no, but what a dream.) What's yours ? :D
 
I have started knitting (mainly hats scarves and gloves). Mydream is to knit a bit quicker and take commissions for stuff, in pale pink or lilac because I like those colours...
 
I'm hoping to stop procrastinating and publish a book of my poems! I've bought some software to help make a kindle/e-book edition so what's holding me back? 🙂

I don't know, but am guessing that it's not the reception your poems have had here as any we have seen have been great - note: I teach Mathematics and not English or I am sure I could have said that better 😱 😱 😱
 
What I really meant, is why not "Go for it"?
