Today I actually went and did stuff!

chocolatepotI started by going out for breakfast (the Bagelry), which is a great way of getting me into a productive mindset for the day. Walked back home and followed it up with a trip to the car place (made an appt. for inspection and to find out what else is horribly wrong with it), the grocery store (chatted with my buddy the sample lady (what a Liz Lemon thing), got some household supplies), and the hardware store (planting stuff so I can repot my herbs). Then took a huge amount of recycling down to the basement. At the last minute I decided to see Finding Dory, which was well worth it even if I ended up seated next to a pretty awful family.* Went home after, ate some snacks (I hadn't had time for much lunch), read some more of Crown Duel, and then got out my electric sewing machine and started working on sewing panties while watching the third season of Garrow's Law.
(I managed two pairs, neither very good - one with turned and zigzagged edges, the other with elastic - but next time they will be better. They're very quick to make up and incredibly cheap when you work out the percentage of fabric/elastic you use. Very soon I will be able to throw out the several hole-y pairs I've been going on for the past year.)
And the best thing about having Saturdays like this is that they're only day one of a three-day weekend! So maybe I will have two more days of productivity, or I will have a rest and still have gotten a lot done in a weekend outside of the apartment.
* For real, it was two women with a girl and two toddlers. The toddlers didn't care about the movie at all (one fell asleep, one kept having to be taken to the bathroom), the mothers barely lowered their voices in rebuking them when they dropped stuff, and the girl ate all the popcorn and then went to the bathroom and threw up, and her mother basically told her she deserved it for eating all the popcorn. And when she complained after her vomiting her mother told her to stop of she'd backhand her. Man.
