-making pasta with Don (I got him a hand-cranked pasta maker; see below)
-playing Donkey Kong (an "us" gift)
-thinking about what to do with the epic picture Emily and Megan made for me
-not stressing out about a single thing
-looking forward to the trio of New York Philharmonic concerts to which Don got me tickets
-clocking in some precious Don hours
As an experienced New Yorker (read: overly stressed, frequently annoyed, and consistently fatigued), Don always has some good advice for me, which I usually don't take, and usually to my chagrin. This time, though, I think I've made a small step in time management by heeding his words. My previous time management strategy was virtually nonexistent; I didn't so much manage time as I crammed it, or let it slip past me without notice. Don gently reminded me that this week could possibly be the last week that we will be able to spend so much time together, mostly due to his lack of dogs (they're on "vacation") and my relaxed schedule (I'm starting at OUP next week, and school two weeks later!). Hence, a wonderful week of sloth, pasta, video games, and snow.
