I will take a day off to shop and pamper myself.

Just a day of relaxation for myself. Getaway and just enjoy myself. No worries, no bill paying, nobody to bother me just relax and enjoy myself.

Spend the day outside with the kids fishing, golfing, whatever they wanted to do.

I would spend the day with my wife at the spa.

I would get my hair done and read a good book at the park.

I think I'd go to the salon and maybe have my hair done! I haven't had a good cut and color since February 2020! Right before my sons wedding. Then Covid hit and well, I've not felt comfortable to have it done! Things are improving now so I'd love to cover all this gray! Hahaha

Would send my wife to get a full body massage.  This COVID cr@p has her all tensed up (and the fact that I have an immunosuppressed system).  She probably wouldn't go, though, due to COVID.

My son and daughter-in-law with their two young boys are planning to move to North Carolina as soon as possible after her folks sell their house in Draper, Utah, and the folks find another suitable one in NC. They plan to put the house on the market this coming week. With the real estate market so hot in our area right now, I think they'll have several offers within a day of listing.

After moving to NC, my son and daughter-in-law will house-sit while the folks go to China for a year, and then look for a house of their own out there after the folks return. Except for 2 years when my son lived in Texas, shortly after graduating high school, this will be the first time he and I will be living more than 80 miles apart, and more than only about 15 miles apart since he got married.

My wife and I haven't seen their family for months, except on our cell phones, mostly because of concern over the coronavirus.

If I won the $200 and day off, I'd treat my son and daughter-in-law and grandkids to a special picnic, so my wife and I could spend some face time visiting and enjoying food and company before they move away. We'd take lots of pictures. Since the two boys are not idle, I'm sure we'd take several videos, too.

Stay well and enjoy!

P.S. I'm going to try to set up a picnic with them, anyway.

I would take the day off and sit/lay by the water and watch the waves to relax.

I'd get the full deal at my local spa (facial, massage, manicure, pedicure). I would also sequester myself away somewhere alone and throw myself into my creative writing (i'm writing a book on my grandparents).

I would replace those backyard fencing panels brought down by Hurricane Irma. It would prevent wildlife eating my plants and vegetables, enabling me grow them in ground and not only in deck containers.
