Things To Do In The Evening

[falling_wave]

You know those days when you have wanted and intended to get out and do something all day but then you realize the sun has set and it's too late? I do that all to often especially on weekend days and it makes me feel so defeated and cooped up so I need a backup plan.

What do you suggest for activities to get out of the house let's say at or after 7pm? I want to avoid any unhealthy activities likely to make me feel worse.

If you're looking for things to do where you don't necessarily need a companion I'd suggest trying those painting, cooking, or pottery classes. Go watch the live music or trivia nights at a restaurant. You can look into meetup groups in your area. Have friends over for snacks and a game night.

Non cardio exercise....like a little Pilates or yoga, stretching. Art work, research stuff. Collage a binder full of home décor inspiration and plan out what I can remodel next, look for new music online and make play lists.

Maybe stargazing, watching sunsets, or doing some shopping at stores later at night when the crowds thin.

This is a great idea for a thread as I too have been looking for things to do. Although my problem is a horrific sleep schedule. The responses so far have been great.

There have been great responses. Thanks! I like the trivia night one or finding different spots to watch the sunset. That would be a good ending to the day. Tonight I went and saw a movie in theatres and I'm having a tea at the bookstore cafe. It feels like a good evening after a day of doing nothing so I thought I'd add that one.

Not sure what activities you had in mind but ... Quite a few years ago I was working a job that had me putting in 60 hour weeks most weeks, and I got quite stressed as the days grew short in autumn and I had no time to keep up with yard work, gardening, etc.

So I bought a couple of those halogen work lights on tripods and long extension cords ... I can remember being out on cold misty autumn nights until sometimes midnight / I got things done!
