Merry Everyday

Ever since the NYC blizzard last Friday, which cancelled my after school program that day and marked the height of my illness, I've kind of mentally checked out and been "on break." I spent some days reading, shopping, watching TV in bed, listening to my mp3 collection, eating up my groceries, seeing Pina Bausch at BAM, attending Milk and Jade's show at Public Assembly, etc. The real point is that I didn't do anything that could be construed as work (i.e. working on my overdue article, planning classes, filling out my online attendance roster, finding rehearsal space, choreographing for my various projects).
Tuesday morning I officially went "on break," skipping out on the last day of school before Winter Recess and flying to south Texas to hang out with the family. It's quiet down here -- quieter than I'd prefer -- but it's also warm. I left a 22-degree New York to arrive in a 65-degree Texas. Yesterday it was 82. Despite the warm temperature, I spent the better part of the late afternoon crocheting a long, fluffy red scarf, which I gave to my brother to give to his fiancée (or to keep for himself). I also brought 4 books, the end-year double issue of the New Yorker and a teensy amount of work. I doubt I'll finish all of that reading, but I am up-to-date on my Google Reader subscriptions, and I've been downloading a considerable amount of music from my eMusic account. And I ordered myself some earrings.
It's hard for me to just sit around and do nothing. I need projects. I need things to accomplish. Are you the same? What do you do when you go "on break" but not on vacation? I have 8 more days of this.
