I really like your list. I think those are great activities. Good for you for writing it all down.

I just recently returned to my city after being out of town for a number of years, partly due to a really long hospitalization. Even though this is where I grew up and worked for years, I really know no-one now. I live alone as well. Not isolating is basically impossible. So, I try to be sure I have given myself something, usually something very modest and little, because I don't have any money anymore, to look forward to. So, as is common knowledge around here, I like to ride my bike. So, I schedule a ride pretty much every morning. I plan it out, find the route, review it on google maps so I know what I'm in for, and then, plug it into my riding app called Ride with gps that I carry with me in case I get lost. I check and clean the bike, to be sure it's safe. That gives me a lot to do. It's a nice distraction. Has to be done. And I get to get out of the apt. for a few hours every day. I imagine one could do that with most any hobby. Just schedule it into your day, like an appointment or something. Don't make it optional.

I also try to find at least one show per day to look forward to. It may only be an hour, but it's something. For me, I have learned that Animal Planet tends to cheer me up and shows about couples that try to kill each other--which are everywhere--do not cheer me up.

I do look fwd. to my time on PC, and that helps me, too. It's on the schedule. It helps me a lot because I do not feel as alone. And I can do it in the middle of the night, when I am often awake.

One thing I've added to what I do on the advice of people at PC is to put something bigger like going to the opera or a blazer game (our NBA team) on the schedule from time to time. These cost way more and so require a lot more planning, but they really give me something neat to look fwd. to.

I stopped reading when I got depressed a few months ago, but I am going to our awesome book store, Powell's, tomorrow to get some reading material and try to get that going again. It's a good activity for me and has helped cheer me up in the past.

And last, I don't have much money, but I do try to schedule preparing a cool meal for myself every now and then, as I like to cook. It cheers me up.

That's about it for me. It's not much, but it gets me by. Best of luck to you!!
