I currently don't have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what's left of it).

If you are a reader at all, I want to recommend the novella "The Emperor's Soul" by Brandon Sanderson. It's a fantasy story where the magic is all based around the carving of these types of seals, that are then called soulstamps, and used to alter an object's history. So for a very basic example, one might carve a seal that indicates, "I am a chair, I have always been a chair," and whatever other signifiers make up the soul of a chair, then you stamp a trash can with that seal, and if it's good enough, it overwrites the history/soul of the trash can and it becomes a chair.

Or don't, this hobby just instantly reminded me of that book though.
