Crochet and cross-stitching are the two activities that sooth me the most, though considering I don't actually get to spend much time on them it hardly ever gets hard on the joints. Crochet's a lot worse than cross-stitching actually, I do on occasion get a few cramps while crocheting but don't remember it happening while stitching.
Workaholic... something that could never be said about me... Procrastination isn't just my middle name, it's also the first, the last and an overall great friend of mine... can never get her to leave me! Damn!
