I just did about 20 minutes (I set the timer at 10 but kept going) and did most of my dishes (a few won't fit in the dish rack), tidied up my small pantry cupboard, transferred some bulk flour to halg-gallon glass jars, and reorganized my bulk foods shelves to fit the new flour jars. Yay!

• Clean mirrors
• Tidy up the shed and porch
• Take the composter off the pile and put it a few feet away, turn compost over, start a new pile
• Pack up a defective laptop to return to amazon
• Unpack new laptop, get it ready to use and install the printer
• Print test labels
