You could AmTrak it from DC to Boston, Jesse, but that's going to be a long day on the train.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Making cookies involves standing up, not to mention cleanup. Total candidate for onerous. And cleaning off the TiVo requires discipline! I do not side eye these people. I doff my hat.
You can't put cookies and TV on your onerous tasks unless you're (a) making cookies that you don't like for some event you don't want to attend; (b) you write about TV, or caption it.
That's like putting masturbation on your to-do list. "Oh fuck, gotta go fuck myself. Bother."
Though that does conjure up a weirdly amusing image of Eeyore as an incredibly lazy teenager.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Then doing taxes shouldn't be on the list if you get a refund. I mean, it's money!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Masturbation is perfectly valid on a to-do list, if you're donating sperm. Because sometimes it involved driving to Wisconsin or Rockford, IL.

I'm pretty sure everyone's entitled to their own definition of onerous.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think donating sperm is considered onanous, rather than onerous.

My onerous task for today was finding a workaround for a bunch of damaged archival image files that were needed for books we're having reprinted more than 5 years after the fact. I managed to do this successfully in a day's time against all odds, so if you know any lepers in need of curing now would be a good time to send them my way.

Jesse, let us know if you'll be stuck, if you need a place to crash, etc. My DH is going up to NYC tomorrow on the train.

It could be onanously onerous or onerously onanous.
