THINGS I DID THAT I HATED DOING THAT I WAS GLAD I HAD DONE LATER
5
Sky Ting yoga with Anton! THINGS I DID THAT I LIKED DOING AT THE TIME BUT WAS PROBABLY A WASTE OF TIME
6
I hated it. It was painful. I wanted to check my phone the whole time. However it was a step in a direction toward not having back pain. And it was only an hour. Their classes are every day at noon. I paid good money for Call of Duty, and it seemed fun but then it was hard. And I couldn't master the controls and it seems really stupid to add more videogames to my life. It seems depressing.
7
Made arroz con leche, but only half this enormous recipe!I watched all of season 3 of Ozark, but too fast. I really liked it but now it's gone already and now what?
8
It reminded David of being a kid again, and it's a nice thing to keep in the fridge, and you don't feel like you ate ice cream or candy (not that there's any ice cream or candy left). I hate cooking but I like eating. I said I would spend 5 minutes meditating in the morning but instead I just looked at my phone.

Glad I started Friday Zoom Fun Teatime Hour with non-coworker work friends, even though it was annoying as hell.Me and Sara had a Zoom date, but we chose to watch Birds of Prey, big mistake. We should have done better!
10
I started reading an actual good book for once (The Orphan Master's Son!) instead of the usual trash I read and I resisted it at first and then was like OH RIGHT this is why we say some books are better than others. I never showered before work all week. I think I will feel more sane if I do that. Also I was formless with my working hours, but what if I set a timer or a clock or a calendar? What if the DAY DOES NOT BECOME THE NIGHT AND THEN JUST THE DAY AGAIN?
11
I gave away a bunch of money but I wish I'd given it in more targeted ways. I think I'd rather make a substantial change in one person's life — pay a month of someone's rent, or something — than make a tiny dent in a lot of people's lives.

THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO DO AT A LATER DATE WHEN IT'S NIGHTTIME
17
I would like to bake a loaf of Pullman bread, or maybe this Japanese milk bread? Because I'm running out of bread but I have flour and shelf-stable milk!
18
I would like to watch a movie with Sara on Friday night. BUT A GOOD ONE THIS TIME. Maybe "Fast Color"???
19
THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO DO AT A LATER DATE WHEN IT'S DAYTIMEI would like to lay on the couch in the living room with a book.
20
I would like to cut down that stupid bush in the back of the yard that's crowding my feelings. I would like to do that without injuring myself and going to the hospital. Spooky night walk????
21
I would like to spend 30 minutes practicing guitar! The Fender lessons I was paying for are now free!
22
I would like to go for a bike ride — but which way?
23
I would like to find out what Couch to 5K is because I already know what couch is and I'm worried about my ability to get away if someone is chasing me.
24
It is the time when the morning weeding routine must begin. Hey, you could do that then shower before work!
