Time waisters: Writing, reading, yoga, painting, designing (in my head), walking, working, shopping, tidying, organizing, meditating, etc

Today we are doing that thing you hear New Englanders do in summer. We are going to the cape. I’ve never been. Summer is officially four days away, though its feeling like it won’t be coming this year. I don’t have any expectations. Its a little fun to say, I’m driving to the cape!
