Cheers,

Thank you all for the good advice. I'll seemingly have to clarify a few things... first, my definition of 'hobby' may be broader than the usual one, including those hobbies that I used to do as a child or a few years ago, visiting events that occur rarely, or visiting events and attractions that will 'wear out', being interesting if you visit them once a year but which you could not think of doing every week. My brain is already set in producing hobby ideas in such speed that I'll not have time to complete them all. I will, for now, deliberately leave out hobbies that require more than one evening to get started with. Unfortunately, this includes most handicrafts (like my former long-time favorite, canvas oil painting), but I'm sure that with creativity, I can figure out something. This is also for the fact that I'm necessarily not ready to take up new serious hobbies and new compulsions yet, but am looking for a more random fun (note the relationship analogy.)

I'm still having this common cold flu (viral infection only as checked many times already), no fever but a constantly annoying throat ache and some coughs.

I already read about one fiction book in a week and about one nonfiction in two weeks. I have excluded reading (about any subject) from my list in purpose - reading about meditation would not be enough as I already know about the subject, now is the time of action.

The advice on food are good - I'll still have to think how exactly to implement them.

I'm fixing the goals now as '20 new or old-new hobbies in 30 days, and a sufficient breakfast every day during 30 days'. I can still re-adjust these if necessary, but currently I don't see why they should not succeed...
