Recovering from Surgery - Or just prisoner of your bed!

My girlfriend has been held prisoner in her bed after some major surgery.  She is not the type of person to want to lie in bed for a week or two, lapping up the luxury of doing nothing.  So I thought I'd write a list of all the things she can get done while recovering.  Here we go....

1. Read up on the latest wine reviews - top priority!
2. Check out Pinterest - that's your whole week right there!
3. Learn a new game - board game, card game, app etc
4. Take an online course
5. Update your resume
6. Make a list of things to pack when you travel
7. Make a chore chart for the kids to keep them out of your hair
8. Plan the menu for your next dinner party
9. Write a bucket list
10. Come up with Christmas/birthday present ideas
11. Call a mobile esthetician for a mani/pedi
12. Book all your doctor/ dentist/ optician appointments for when you're better
13. Research your next travel destination
14. Book a cleaning lady for when your better but still can't lift things
15. Check out some new fitness routines
16. Or some new bedroom routines...wink, wink
17. Make a to do list 
18. Arrange flowers to be sent to someone who deserves the surprise - like the grandparents who are always helping out with the kids
19. Plan new ways to wear the clothes in your closet, put new outfits together
20. Brush up on or learn a new language
21. Find some educational apps for the kids
22. Do your taxes - if totally desperate!
23. Write a list of books you want to read and movies you want to see - and then read and watch them...because you can!
24. Call an old friend - now that you have time to gab
25. Plan your next renovation - be it new paint colours or a redo of the basement
26. Clean up the apps and music on your phone - out with the old
27. Download new music and make new playlists
28. Research that new appliance you need to replace.
29. Start checking out new swimsuit fashions and new spring/summer fashions in general.
30. Plan your garden 
31. Make a 6 week meal plan
32. And last but not least if it hasn't already been covered, do something you used to do in those quiet times before kids or your job took over your life!

Make the most of your time in bed, heal well and heal quickly!
