Do the thing! Friday productivity thread, 4/19/19

Alright guys! We all have the Thing(s) we ought to do. Let’s roll into the weekend with the sweet relief of having done the Thing! Pictures highly encouraged :slight_smile:

Things I have done:
-pulled the pants and shirts out of my dresser and packed them into the closet, in the hopes they’ll fit post pregnancy some day.
-laundry! First load is drying, second is washing.

Share along! Inspired by catching up on @krmit’s journal

What steps to get there? Do you know what you’ll cook, and have all needed ingredients? :slight_smile:

-vacuum my apartment
-dust (ugh)
-list the futon for sale
-figure out my taco bar plan for having people over tonight and execute that

First step: Determine a food that is appealing enough where I will want it in favor of going out to eat. I’m leaning toward jambalaya.

Second step: Remember what I actually need to buy for Jambalaya that we don’t already have.

  • Andouille
  • Chicken thighs
  • Green onions

Third step: Go to store. Retrieve the above. Also buy chicken wings for tomorrow as well while I’m there.

Fourth step: Throw everything in insta-pot and press go.

Oh I also need to start bagels today if I want to eat them tomorrow.

  • Mix up dough
  • Clear out fridge space for bagels
  • Shape bagels
  • Toss bagels in fridge

What if I declare all work over and just go skate instead? My objective is to productively go work on double salchows and twizzles and say fuck it to any productivity.

I have many things I need to do today (and probably won’t) but I did take apart the vacuum breaker float part of my outdoor spigot and determined that it wasn’t just fouled by debris but the gasket is torn (WHYYYYYY, and also WHYYYYY was it on there so tightly!!! Dumb plumber who installed it) so I ordered the $5 repair kit since NONE of the hardware stores stock the kit. (In retrospect, I guess I could have tried to track down a plumbing supply store. I didn’t.)

If only I had done this last week (or whenever it was) when I figured out that this might be the problem, then I would have backyard water today.

I am pleased I am able to do this as most would have just called a plumber ($$$), and it is a simple fix.

Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can yadda yadda yadda etc.

My attempts at productivity are being thwarted by an office birthday event which means I have to get up and lose at least half an hour. On the plus side, there are going to be cupcakes.

Alright, laundry round 1 is folded and away.
