What should I do with my time off?

I am self-employed and have worked bloody hard so far this year, so I'm having the rest of the month off. Only I don't know what to do with myself. I'm treating my time off as a series of mental health days/me-time.

I live rurally and don't drive, but DH would be happy to drop me off and pick me up once or twice if I asked him nicely. No DCs.

What should I do? What would you do?

Learn to drive? Serious suggestion. if you have all this time it would be a good opportunity to have a crack at it.

Park yourself in the nearest coffee shop with some new books.

Go for a massage.

I can drive, I just choose not to because I am still terrified after an accident. It's something I am working on.

And we are actually trying to move house! We've been living in the middle of nowhere for a year, as a bit of an experiment, and it's taught us that we would much rather be in a small town.

Sleep and pamper yourself. Listen to the radio and read. Eat when and what you like. Float to the village shops and back, having a light lunch/coffee on the way. Wear pretty, comfortable clothes or no clothes.
Sleep again.
