How does one plan for a weekend that looks a lot like a weekday?<\/p>\n
Carefully. I will demarcate plans that cannot be done during the week and make sure I stick to them.<\/p>\n
For instance…<\/p>\n
I am actually going to bake with the sourdough discards Rudi and I shoved into our fridge this week. I’d planned to make overnight waffles for tomorrow, but didn’t realize it called for buttermilk when I was at the store earlier. It does look like I can make crumpets without issue…<\/p>\n
We will sleep in. I have a video conference call first thing every weekday, which, while I don’t have to put a bra on for, does mean I have to have some kind of non-pj top on first thing. Tomorrow I’m sleeping in and then I’m going to lounge in a tank top and bathrobe for a while and not brush my hair.<\/p>\n
I may go for a bike ride. It’s supposed to rain, but maybe it will lighten up and I can tool around a bit. Trails will be packed, so I won’t be able to go down to the canal and maintain proper distancing, but streets are probably adequate.<\/p>\n
We will go to the farmers market. Yes, they’re still open. Yes, they are a bit challenging. But we’ll make it work. The restaurant across the street from me has on its to-go menu on the door a pasta that includes ramps, so I’m hopeful we might be able to track some down.<\/p>\n
I’ll read. I’m having a heck of a time concentrating and am inclined to doze off if I sit still for too long.<\/p>\n
I’m going to roast some squash. I have a pumpkin and a butternut squash and a gigantic pink candy squash and can possibly throw all three into the oven at the same time.<\/p>\n
I’m going to wash sheets and towels. I meant to get to both all week, but didn’t manage to tackle either one.<\/p>\n
I’m going to turn the heel of my sock. I took it out for a walk today, but instead of sitting, wandered over to the garden and the store and walked around a bit and talkd to my folks.<\/p>\n
We’re going to call some West Coast friends who’ve been wanting to do a video chat. (I’d hate to get out of practice for Monday..)<\/p>\n
If I encounter strawberry plants, I’ll be going back to the garden.<\/p>\n
We’ll watch a film. My attention span hasn’t really been up to a movie, but I’m guessing Rudi will be glad to watch something that’s not just tv episodes, much as we’ve enjoyed the ones we’re watching (Frankie Drake<\/em>, New Girl<\/em>, Parks & Recreation<\/em>, The Librarians<\/em>, and Brooklyn 99<\/em>).<\/p>\n I will be hosting a living room dance party, because we need some loud music and I need to move around a bit.<\/p>\n How will you be spending your weekend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How does one plan for a weekend that looks a lot like a weekday?
