I am off work with a bum foot for 2 weeks. I can hobble around and I am not in pain. I need some ideas of chores and fun things to do to keep me busy. What would you do if you were to suddenly have time off?

Personally, I would check out a stack of library books, buy a seven pound bag of Hot Tamales from Sam's Club, and plug in my electric blanket.

OMG...I have so many time consuming tasks I want to work through. This would be a toss up between going through my Kerri Bradford silhouette classes or sorting/scanning all my old pictures that have been sitting in a drawer for ages.
I hope your foot feels better soon.

Learn to knit or crochet if you don't know how. Netflix marathon. Make homemade christmas cards for the residents of a local nursing home. Create pinterest boards. Make yourself a month of menus complete with shopping lists organized by your store's layout. Read the bible. Discover a new podcast. Go through the Financial Peace University home study course. Make phone calls to recruit volunteers for an organization you care about. Try adult coloring. Watch a documentary about something you're not interested in to see if it changes your mind. Shred old tax records.

So far I have on my list:
Clean out my closets
Clean out freezers
Go through Christmas decorations and discard all of the ugly stuff
The Financial Peace course sounds great as does listening to new podcasts. I might do some baking. The Christmas cookie thread has me thinking. I love having new ideas so please keep posting. I dreaded this surgery but it is turning out to be a fun little blessing in disguise.

Get all my Christmas shopping done on Amazon, and wrap stuff when it gets here. Make some cute gifts.
If you're cleaning out closets, check out Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I enjoyed the book and got lots of stuff cleared out loosely following her method.

I like my artsy with a little bit of fartsy.

I need to clean out kitchen cabinets and drawers.
Also the refrigerator.
I'd order, then address holiday cards, because I am participating the Refugee exchange.
Do you like to shop online? You could take care of Christmas gift lists.
