I hope that goes well for you. Have you considered taking a part time job or maybe in apprenticeship or internship in something you are interested in?
I imagine that if I was doing what you are describing, I'd enjoy keeping busy while still having most of my day to pursue something new. And having my side job (that pays or not, who cares?) help push me forward into learning something I couldn't easily do on my own.
Since I've only been unemployed since June, I've largely been plowing my time into house projects and taking care of my young son.
I would be very open to an apprenticeship/internship if it allowed me a more direct entry into an exciting position (I have the freedom to do so, certainly); however, the internship pipeline seems almost exclusively focused on undergraduate age young people.
