[quote=Anonymous]I'm a super fried working mom of a pre-schooler. I've scheduled two vacation days for later this month (not consecutive, unfortunately) and lined up childcare to give myself a break, since I'm not really getting a break on the weekends right now. My DH will be still be working from home on those days and my kid will be in the house in the afternoon (though with a caregiver), so I'm trying to figure out some activities I can do that minimize my time in the house. I'm an introvert and really just need quiet alone time.

Right now I'm planning a long run in the morning followed by a long hot shower, and then hopefully a couple hours sitting on the patio of a coffee shop and reading a book (weather permitting). Any other ideas for pandemic-friendly self-care that would get me out of the house but still be relaxing and solitary? I do a ton of hiking with my family and love it, but I'm really looking for something different to kind of reset my central nervous system.

If there were not a pandemic, I'd go to a movie, visit a museum, or go shopping. Anyone have safe substitutes for those??[/quote]
