If I had a six month break from work, I would create a daily schedule for myself to make sure I didn't waste that time. I would exercise (weight lifting or hiking or kayaking) and stretch each day, I would work on my novel at least five days a week and I would spend some time trying to learn a foreign language.
I would take the kid to school each day and I would take the dogs out at least every other day – which some days would include walking the kid to school. She and the little dog love that.
I would cook dinner every every weeknight.
I have it all planned out; clearly I'm looking forward to retirement.
