You're vacationing at home. It's not the time to clean out your cupboards or paint the bathroom, it's high time to sleep whenever you want, eat whatever you want and let the world gleefully sail by your windows. Watch game shows, rent all the movies you've missed, buy a kiddie pool and set it up in the backyard next to the grill. In between dipping your toes in the pool, barbecuing and napping, catch up on letter writing and gardening and sharpen your game of solitaire. Bike around the neighborhood and make friends with your neighbors, postmaster and everyone whose life mysteriously exists while you're at work.
Life can be fun at home.
You just have to be there to enjoy it.
