I’d suggest anything to do to get you out of the house. If you need more school to upgrade your skills, that would be a good way to do it. Take a walk…is there anywhere nearby that’s worth walking to? A pub for example? Don’t laugh at that one. It’s a good mechanism by which a person can go solo to a place, settle down with a beer, and relax. Bring a newspaper or something if you feel like there won’t be anything going on and you’ll need something to do, but I guarantee you’ll end up talking to someone. Not that that necessarily seems to be your issue, but it does give you a good way to spend time on your own.
