I will workout, read, maybe clean the house a bit, mow the lawn if needed. Other than that, I am getting bored.

I was wondering if someone could give me some ideas for things to do during the day in the middle of the week, ideally things that will get me out of the house.

Thanks!
I have the same issue... a HUGE amount of downtime with an unchallenging job and living on my own during the week.

I talked to a counselor and she strongly recommended that I seek out human interaction. If you are an extrovert yourself, I definitely recommend making that a focus. AA meetings, local meet up groups, volunteering, time with friends... anything that allows you to interact with others.
