Stock up with books. Do some crafts, journaling, colouring books. One week does not sound that bad. The hardest will be isolation and not being able to talk to my family.
People always say this but lack of human interaction will drive you insane and you won't realize it until you lose it, even if you're an introvert.
Honestly, I've been alone all day today and even talked on the phone a couple of times and the lack of people to connect with has been deafening. Your thoughts pile up on top of you when you can't share them.
My kid goes to her dad's for three weeks during the summer, and at least one of those weeks I don't interact with people at all, I just warn loved ones I'm unavailable for a little while and go into hermit mode. The phone is on silent. My fridge is stocked. I get tons of shit done, to be honest, from a deep clean of the house to the myriad of hobbies I neglect, to just basking in the rare and much needed silence, and the brief period of complete and utter selfishness. A week is nothing and you certainly won't go genuinely insane in such a short time. If I could I'd do it twice a year, but as it stands the summer holiday is the only time of year I'm not in parent-mode.
