doing a load of laundry

folding a load of laundry

putting away (see above)

sprucing the kitchen

planting some ferns that I dug out and are languishing

planting some peonies

sprucing (might need to upgrade that verb) my bedroom 

But what I really want to do is pull out a can of paint and slather a bit on a wall of my porch area, since we have pretty much given up on getting the exterior painted this season, and it would make another mess.  

I might compromise by sitting in the sun and looking at my gardens.

Will report back.
