π· Make your own hand sanitizer. (see instructions below)
π Rearrange your bookshelves! Arrange them by size...then by color...then alphabetically by author's last name...then by title...
π Actually read a handful of titles from that leaning tower of TBRs that's been threatening to fall over and crush your children, and that your husband has been complaining about for years.
πΏ Binge-watch every season of {insert show of your choice} or catch up on the other movies and TV shows you've been meaning to see. (Note: I wholeheartedly recommend Seasons 1 and 2 of Trial & Error for 1001 deep belly laughs.π Also check out an entire list of "A Few of My Favorite Things" on my website for more great television and movie ideas.)
π§ββοΈ Re-watch The Walking Dead from the very beginning, as well as every other zombie/apocalypse/outbreak movie or television show you can think of as a Survival Tips refresher.
π Teach yourself sign language.
βοΈ Begin journaling. Better yet, start a Gratitude Journal. (Thereβs no better time to count your blessings than when youβre feeling blessing-deprived!)
π Put together the 10,000-piece puzzle your grandchildren gave you for Christmas a few years ago.
π¨ Take up painting with watercolors...or paint-by-numbers, if you're artistically stunted like Yours Truly.π€ͺ
π§π½ββοΈ Find your Zen with yoga or Tai Chi, breathing exercises or self-hypnosis recordings.
ππ Do some online shopping or even online "window" shopping. (Actual orders may take longer to arrive, but the thrill of the buy is still there. And just think of how much you'll be stimulating the economy!π²π)
π₯« Remove the labels from all of your canned goods. Play "Guess the Contents" with the kids.
β Using those unlabeled cans, as well as other items from the cupboards/pantry/freezer that have been there for a decade or so, prepare Mystery Meals/Surprise Suppers for the fam.π½ (Remember: expiration dates are for sissies, and we are dealing with End of Days conditions here.)
π Plan all the things you want to do as soon as it's safe to go out again: shop for toilet paper, re-stock the wine cellar, get your hair cut/colored...
And...as a Last Resort ONLY...
π Clean the house from top to bottom...or at least top to bottom-ish.
~or~
π΄π½ββοΈ Begin a new exercise routine in an attempt to finally get in shape, maybe take a step toward your Summer Body...even though we probably won't be spending much time at the beach this year.π (Note: Personally, I've begun working on next Winter's body already, but that's nobody's business but my own.π»π)
