That sounds awesome Laura!!
My plans to go on a road trip got canceled but I met a friend for brunch and then we worked on planners together cause she liked mine. Bought notebooks and markers and such.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What a good weekend, Laura!
I just picked up the trombone for the first time in weeks, and somehow I have not gotten better without trying???

Calli, in your shoes I would be contacting people about murder alibis right about now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
productive day so far.
feed kittens
go to work meeting
fill up car
come home feed kittens
get load of laundry out and drying
sweep kitchen and living room
get load of laundry in
go vote
drop off two bags at thrift store
fold half of laundry and put it away
and now I'm about to take mac and a friend to go see a community college 45 min away that has dorms.
oops I wrote all that out at noon and then did not post.
We did go to a community college 45 min away and drove around the about 10 building deserted campus and then around the town a bit. Mac seems hellbent on not even considering these options with dorms.
Then we drove back, got Ethiopian food
drove home, fed cats
I moved laundry to dryer
am listing a couple things on FB marketplace
and I think now, Tivo.

I had a not at all productive day. CincoK in the morning (on not very scenic roads, as it turned out, so that was not great, but the Sinaloan dancers before the race were cool), which came with tacos and a beer. The beer turned out to be Michelin Ultra, and now I know I don't care for that. Mom ended up with a 20% off coupon for the Budweiser gift shop, so we poked around and found some stuff to buy. Dad bought a skewer if teriyaki chicken that was both enormous and delicious, so we all nibbled on that. We then relocated to a deli that I've been wanting to try for ages but always seem to be near when it's closed - hella good. And now I know I can order online and pick up a to go order, so weekday meals there are more viable. Came home and collapsed. Have been lying down reading or surfing the internet all afternoon. So it goes.

Coding and Sleeping
I've done some vacuuming, some carpet shampooing, got everyone lunch, replaced some brake pads on my daughter's car, did an oil change, went to the grocery store, got yelled at for starting dinner so late, made eggs, bacon, and pancakes for everyone, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher. Now I get to settle down and work on encrypted UDP for work.
Edited because I didn't use the Oxford comma and felt very guilty about that fact.

Michelin Ultra
Ha
Sold a 4x6 soccer goal that has not been used in oh 5 years. It's been outside, so not great shape, but it's a big thing gone from my back patio and I have $5 for a week that I am cash poor.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I had a not at all productive day. CincoK in the morning
I'd argue that doing a 5K automatically makes your day productive.
I also did a 5K today -- the Flying Pig, which is super fun. It's a huge deal here, and they have events all weekend.
I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot but I was stubborn and did the 5K anyway, and now I'm paying for that. It may have been a poor choice to do it today. I'll have a better idea tomorrow. For now I'm just popping ibuprofen like they're M&Ms and icing my foot.
Because of the plantar fasciitis, I had no idea if I could finish in under an hour, but I squeaked in at 59 minutes, so I'm pretty proud of that.
Then I came home and was unable to nap, which is bullshit. So I read for a while, and then we had burgers for dinner because I really just wanted protein. That was a quality burger. And I seriously might go to bed soon, because I am old.

Mmm burgers. I hope the ibuprofen and ice helps. Yay Flying Pig!
Michelin, Michelin, huh, my autocorrect does not know Michelob. Interesting.
Yay $5 and getting rid of things you don't need or use!
You do a lot, Gud. Damn. Also, pancakes sound really good.

replaced some brake pads on my daughter's car
[needle scratch!]
The Cutest Toddler In The World doesn't need a car or brakepads.
Also, nobody needs to be yelling at your about dinner, Gud.
Oxford Commas are total bullshit, so don't sweat that either.
