Read & write. Spend time with my spouse. Hopefully, being done with some that has been preventing me to walk as much I would have liked for the last week.
if you're looking for something to do this WE, have you considered reading? I mean, I'm well into my 50s and I can't remember that many times in my life I felt bored (or lonely), thanks to books. It doesn't matter the type of book or their genre, they're great companions ;)
If you're more into games and want to chat with people: chess maybe an option: play a few games (for free on lichess.org, or even on chess.com but this one comes with ads) and with any luck a conversation might start with another player. You can also check in your area oif there is no club/public place where people can play IRL
I read every day, currently working my way through IT.
That's a good habit ;)
King has written many great books, 'It' is not one of my favorite of King, but it was good nonetheless! Maybe I should re-read it nowadays to see if I would have a different opinion (I read it many, many years ago).
