It depends. I think I ride the wave. Especially during sickness. I give myself the luxury of the down time. I find I stress myself out if I think I should be doing something else and I hate the guilt that goes with it.

Having said that I do plan for that moment when the slump is officially over.

But it sounds like you want to make the wave less torturous which is totally ok too.

What indoor activities would make you happy? A story circle? A game of hot and cold with an object to find. Baking? Planning a family outing or holiday?
