Yes, yes, I know we already had a weekend this year. But I was still on vacation, so it didn’t count.

But this weekend it does, and after the exhausting events of this week — a full week of work and an attempted political coup in my city (seriously, who offered to hold 2021’s beer?) — I really feel like I deserve to suck out all the marrow of life over the next 48 hours:

Here’s what I’m thinking:

• Go for a bike ride.
• Read outside. (It’s supposed to be nearly 50 and mostly sunny.)
• Knit. (I’m hoping to finish a project this weekend.)
• Send some mail.
• Bake.
• Watch the new version of All Creatures Great and Small.
• Take part in the Bout of Books Twitter chat. (Note to self: set your alarm now!)
• Figure out if there’s some useful action I can take to help alleviate feelings of horror about this week’s insurrection. (If you’ve found one, please share it in the comments. I know I’m not the only one looking.)
• Wash handknits. (It’s always my prettiest laundry day.)
• Work on my best-of-2020 reads post.

How about you? How are you going to spend your weekend? Jamming in activities or resting up from them?
