Most weekends, I like nothing more than just lazing around the apartment. It seems like today was the first time in a long while where I’ve had a decent amount of free time. And so, what do I do? I ended up waking early, going out to the grocery store, and spending the day doing dishes, laundry, etc.

I broke out the crock pot again and had another swing at making a beef stew. I’m getting better at it, although the meat is still coming across as rather bland. I think my problem is that I start by following recipes, but then as time goes on I start to improvise too much. Still, each time I try making stuff with the crock pot, I seem to get a little better.

I felt good today, even though I was doing more busywork than relaxing. Being out and about so early in the day made me feel rather productive – a feeling I haven’t had in a long while.
