Ideas on how to spend my day off tomorrow please

I have not been feeling that great lately (combo of stress, lack of sleep and generally feeling a bit burnt out). Off work from today until next weds, fairly busy Christmas Eve.
Today I have just been so knackered/ uninspired I have spent most of the day on the couch watching rubbish, but not really sure what I wanted to do instead. Tomorrow I have the day to myself again (no kids) and don’t want to waste it. So looking for ideas to unwind and refresh. I don’t want to go to the shops etc and can’t go too far as have a delivery in afternoon. I prob should do something productive like a long walk but don’t fancy doing anything too much as have period pains too. Any more exciting ideas than just sitting on the couch eating?

Go watch a film at the cinema, do some baking, pamper session - face mask, paint nails etc.

To be honest, it sounds like a day on the sofa and a couple of naps chucked in will do you good.

Thank you! Face mask and pamper sounds nice.

On my day off tomorrow I'm planning to read a book curled up under a blanket on the sofa whilst drinking a lot of tea :)

A day in with some self care sounds like it'll do you good before the Christmas madness!

Face mask and hair mask
Hot bath with candles
Shave, pluck eyebrows
Series or film

Drag your duvet onto the sofa, snooze on and off, then watch a film while eating a chocolate orange. Long soak in the bath and fresh pyjamas.

Short walk to the corner shop/cafe/cake shop for a treat to consume when you spend the rest of the day on the sofa.

I'm going for a swim (nothing strenuous, more like a float around the pool) then will come home and put cosy pjs on & sit watching movies with all the Christmas lights on & blinds drawn. Woop.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven’t sat and read a book for ages so a snack and book sounds like a plan, maybe followed by a movie.

@Tee20x a swim sounds nice, but I’m scared of the water! 😆 I’m thinking of learning next year though
