If you live in a place where the high is in the negative digits today, I'm right there with you. Since I'm seeing a lot
complaining about cabin fever and boredom, I thought I'd share
some "snow day" ideas gleaned from my years of expertise as a
not-very-outdoorsy only child.
10 Ways to Beat Snow Day cabin fever
2. Call an old friend you haven't talked to in a long
time. Yes, on the telephone. (Or Facetime.) No,
texting/emailing/tweeting doesn't count. Photo: Trace Meek
3. Gather up whatever
crafty supplies you can find and make some valentines. Before you tell
me you have no one to give them to: give them out to elderly
acquaintances or even strangers. Photo: shadfan66
4. Bake something. Preferably with cinnamon or vanilla in it so your house/apartment will smell amazing. Photo: GoodNCrazy
5.
Clean out a closet/junk drawer/basement/attic/the refrigerator. You
know how you always say, "I should really do that sometime when there's
nothing else to do"? The time is now, friend. Photo: QueenieVonSugarpants
6. Start a book
you've been meaning to read or watch a classic movie you've been hearing
about all your life but have never seen. (Dr. Zhivago is good for this
weather.) Photo: meddygarmet
7. Start researching your genealogy, or scan and
organize old family photos and then share them with the rest of the
family. They'll love you for it. Photo: anyjazz65
8. Do you play a musical instrument? Learn a new song! Photo: Scott Ableman
9. Do you knit/crochet/embroider/quilt/etc? You're already set, and don't need this list. Photo: LornaWatt
