Default Concussion Activities

Here's my list of PCS activities so far:

Latch Hook Kits
Coloring
Having friends over
Attempting to nap (15 min intervals)
Podcasts
Listening to Relaxation Music (This is very therapeutic for me)
Sitting in candlelight in my comfy chair
Posting on forums
Calling friends
Eating an apple
Listening to Videos (I turn my Ipod over so I don't see the screen)

These are the activities I have questions about:

Television (1 hour a day)
Some Computer Time (30 mins a day)
Certain Types of Music
Legos or Lincoln Logs (I would love to start building with Legos again!)
Puzzles

I know video games are a no no right now, sometimes I just wanna check Facebook or read the forums.

Are all the activities okay that I have listed including my regular ones? And if not, what are other activities I can do? I am always open to new suggestions!

Thanks!
