My mom has always been fond of saying "when God closes one door, he opens a new one."

Religion aside, I see an opportunity to take up a new hobby. Perhaps piano or guitar or even something not musical related. Model building. Building a doll house can be as easy or intensive as one wants. Perhaps decided to read all of the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings books, that would consume someone for quite a minute.

Just a thought, best wishes for you.
