I’m off until at least 5 Feb due to a boxers fracture. I’m getting sick of TV and movies. Today I’ll clean my apartment, but even with my busted hand it will only take a couple of hours. I can’t really go anywhere as I need to save as much money as I can to cover for missed time at work.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Solve Rubik’s cubes
  • Work on music production
  • Sleep

Thing I probably should do:

  • Continue to learn Swift
  • Follow makeup tutorials

Lemmy, what would you do?

EDIT: Keep ‘em coming Lemmsters! I LOVE the suggestions, and can’t wait to give some of these a go!

I'd play videogames, depending how much use you have of the hand. If you can use a controller or a mouse without discomfort I'd game. You could complete a lengthy RPG like Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 or Baldurs Gate 3. Or you could learn and play Dwarf Fortress or try and get as far as possible in Stardew Valley or whatever games you like.

Id also go out and walk - explore your city, or go hiking if you have nature near by. Its free and it beats being cooped up in your house.

Or you could make a start on a new skill. Like coding with freecodecamp.org or start learning a language.

9 days is a luxury - I'd even enjoy just lazing about, catching up with friends and family. You dont have to do anything meaningful - you could have some me time.
