What I Can Do In a Day

Before~
shower, start dinner, make Jonathan's lunch, do a couple loads of laundry, bake bread, write a paper, read some theology, go grocery shopping, attend class, teach a piano lesson, eat dinner with Jonathan, watch a show, and count on getting the rest I need that night to do it all again the next day.

After~
Feed Charlie, take a shower, and maybe one other task.
