"Another person's trash is another person's trash."
-Mike Harshner

I had absolutely zero plans for this weekend.
Normally, this would frustratingly result in "having a Sunday", which is a phrase coined by Mike and I that conveys a sense of boredom with not feeling like doing anything in particular. It's a time where you have free time and yet none of your hobbies interest you.
It's torturous.

But this weekend was different. I didn't plan to do anything; I just did things as they came along. Let's see all that I accomplished today:

1. Slept in. This is a big one. Normally I set my alarm so that I don't "sleep in too late and waste the morning". But this time I just slept until Sam made it impossible to do so.
2. Played Little Big Planet 3 with Mike. Super fun.
3. Made a delicious lunch: tuna on romaine with celery and green tea.
4. 2 loads of laundry
5. Made Kale-Aid/green smoothies: kale, green apple, banana, lemon, celery, cold water. Can't say they're delicious, but they're not bad.
6. Emptied out the hot tub for the "winter"
7. Painted my nails
8. Finally finished the Yukari dress that I've been working on for almost a year
9. Went with Mike to get his hair cut and buy french onion dip
10. Gave myself a haircut with really cool bangs
11. Wrote a song from beginning to end which I haven't been able to do in months (okay, the song is missing a bridge and a half, but those will be easy to fill in when I practice)

It's been a highly productive Saturday even though I never previously intended to do most of those things.

I got S done.

And more and more, I'm realizing that I really love creating things. Songs, clothes, designs, ideas...
I even designed a bathing suit last night for my own summer collection, which features whales (how cool is that?!).

But in my day job, this Little Big Planet-like creation is stultified because accountants don't really get to create things. I guess we're more like throughput processors.

We solve the problems you didn't know you had in ways you don't understand.

So for all the haters that are like, "What are you going to DO in retirement?"

Creation, with no time constraints.

That, sirs, is what I'm going to do.

It's all the little things that fill that list,
