Please give me some ideas for my first morning off in months...and not cleaning!

[AmalfiCoastLife]

My baby is 8mo and on Saturday DH will be taking her out for the whole morning for a walk with a friend in a park. He will be back at lunch time. In normal times this would sound pretty mundane, but since my baby was born, due to Covid and various reasons baby has never been away from me.

Anyway, this means I'll have the morning at home by myself. I don't think I've been alone in our home for more than a year! I'm feeling tired and feeling the grind of having a baby in lockdown so I'm quite excited for some time for me. But...My first inclination is to clean. Our place needs a deep clean as we haven't had time to clean to our usual standards since baby, plus everyone at home throughout lockdown creating more mess, but we haven't felt safe getting a cleaner. So I could do some cleaning myself. But then I realise how daft that sounds!

I keep thinking I should relax, but then I think ooh but I could get that massive pile of laundry sorted / tidy those drawers, deep clean the kitchen etc etc.

Please help me embrace the time off without worrying about cleaning! I need some ideas for my morning that will tempt me away from the marigolds. What would you do with your morning off if you were me?

Sleep. Then a shower.. TV with coffee and some nice biscuits!! Bliss!!

Rest, watch some TV, read a book. What were your hobbies pre-baby? But also of it makes you feel better, do a bit of cleaning then have a nice bath? But put a timer on so you don't spend the whole morning cleaning!!

Lie in, have a fantastic brunch, bath, catch up phone call with a friend.

I had a morning off today. I went to a new little greengrocers for a veg box, picked up some stuff to make sushi at Morrisons, then had a nap

if you like cleaning (or the results greatly) then that's fine, do that.

Personally I'd go for the longest run or walk or cycle ride possible. But that's me.

Do the laundry now so you can enjoy the relaxing more on Saturday. Lie-in, coffee, weekend papers, a treat breakfast... And get your DH to make this a weekly thing

Absolutely use this time for a break. Rest, have a luxurious bath and a pamper.
Spend Sat afternoon deep cleaning one room, then do another room when you can and so on

Ask yourself, would your dh spend a similar morning cleaning?

A long bath with my book, a bit of a craft project and I probably would choose a little household job that id been meaning to do for ages like sorting a drawer or something as it would bring me joy for days to come

Ask yourself, would your dh spend a similar morning cleaning?

I'd never ask myself that question as dh would use the morning to decorate. Bollocks to that!!

I would try and get something clean and tidy (kitchen and laundry)
Then 100percent and bath. Take my time. Candles. Favourite breakfast. Netflix or film.

Or sort out wardrobe and dance to music etc. in the long run then this could make you feel better. Clear the clutter and it's not general housework it is just for you.

I meant the kitchen or laundry (do it now so you have tomorrow free)

Sleep!

I'd deep clean the kitchen as i know that would make me happier and more relaxed in the long run.

Masturbate?
