Hi, I just friended you recently (thank you so much for all the wonderful reccing you do), but thought I'd jump in and offer a burn out suggestion. I just took up jewelry making, and it's very relaxing, with the added bonus that you end up with pretty gifts for yourself and others. As hobbies go, it's a little expensive, but it's cheaper than buying jewelry (which I also find relaxing, but definitely don't have the funds for).
