Well, I do enjoy my family and friends, but they are also busy and have their own lives (school, work, etc). I'm not willing to be an absent father, but in reality I have 3 full open days in my week and I'm bored to tears. Should I just fill up my time with more work, just to buy more stuff than we need, or maybe engaging in some mildly satisfying hobby?

Besides that, I really feel the urge to create things.
