I feel like I really accomplished something. Actually I've been fairly busy since Thursday. Yesterday (Saturday) I helped my son and his housemates paint their living and dining room. The rooms were a beautiful red color, but didn't get enough light for that to work. I'm not sure exactly what the new color is (a creamy sage, maybe), but the room, even after just one coat, is both lighter and larger looking.
I thought I was going to go help today, but I got the call too late. I would have had to drive home alone and, until I learn the route, I don't want to do that. (OK, so I'm a timid driver!)
I also thought I'd get up earlier today, but that didn't happen. I was well rested, though, so I went out and spent three hours in the garden. I got a few pots planted. The petunias and roses are deadheaded. The pots that are close to the house got watered. (They don't get the rain because of the eaves.) The lawn edges got trimmed. (Iqbal always leaves them for me to do.)
Mom wanted a sub for dinner today and we thought that was fine.
After dinner, I fixed my pot shelf, which fell down the other day. The plastic anchor I used to hold the screw didn't hold. I replaced it with a butterfly.
Then I came in here and recorded my food and exercise (gardening!). I wrote three short (very short!) book reviews. I considered working on my writing, but I think I will do better if I do at least the preliminary writing on paper. Otherwise, I think I'll simply be sitting here and staring at the screen, which will lead to going to my Google homepage, where I keep all the games. Then, before I know it, it will be dawn. So, instead, I'll go read and/or write in my notebook.

Accomplishment feels so good!
I often have better luck writing in a notebook. I'm okay on the computer if it's not fiction.
Your son appreciated certainly your help .
