Am a great believer in the 'do something positive' option. But totally understand if you wish to make another choice of action. Bearing in mind that deep cleaning the house could well be something positive as well as distracting, and would free up a weekend to enjoy with no guilts attached. The hide inside option is less desirable imo, as it continues to fuel the trauma memory and reinforces the power it has over you. That is just my opinion though. You do what's right for you on the day.

I'm leaning towards treating myself to a spa day. Some nice relaxation. But I'll give it a few days.

This sounds nice; simple, indulgent and life affirming.
