I'm stuck at home for the next 9 days, what should I do? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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!

"Follow makeup tutorials" is pretty vague, do you have more specifics on what you're aiming for with that? Part of why I ask if because I know that I can find the functionally infinite array of tutorials overwhelming, and if I don't have a clear goal, I'll end up burning out.

The other part of why I ask is because I'm curious about your style goals — what do you want to be able to do that you can't currently do? Is this part of a larger endeavour to shape your style?

I haven’t done my makeup in so long. I’m re-learning basics rn. I just want to be able to have a natural look that I can put on in a reasonable amount of time. It’s Viet Lunar New Year this weekend, and I want to look nice. Specifically I want to work on contouring, as I have like no idea what I’m doing.
