Pardon my whinging, here... but if I had a social life, I doubt I'd be on LJ at 9:30pm on a summer Saturday night. Nothing to do otherwise, other than (as suggested by patgreene) fold laundry. Sigh.
Sometimes I wish the workweek were longer... there, I feel in charge of myself, competent, capable and I have a track record of accomplishments. At home, I'm often sitting on my hands... when I'm not doing housework or home-improvement (like the kitchen renovation last month). Home/social planning is my lowest priority, after work plans and obligations to others ( school projects with the kids, helping friends) so it often never gets done.
reading a book, or grabbing a video
I suppose I should... I've essentially stopped reading fiction over the past few years, and I only go to movies as a social experience. I'd be quite happy if our TV went kaput. Most forms of solitary home entertainment seem like timesinks, with little gain...
The ability to spend time by one's self relaxing is quite a useful one. Very good for one's mind/body/spirit. You might want to consider cultivating it. Just an idea. It took me quite a while to gain that and it has been well worth it.YMMV
