what to do when you have an evening to yourself

1. practice juggling for five minutes (it’s still quite hard to do, so get annoyed at not being good at it and stop after three)
2. put painters tape around the edges of the wall you want to paint so you can get started right away in the morning
3. play the harmonica along to the music playing on your bluetooth speaker while blankly staring at the poster your sister gave you
4. realise that you actually kind of understand how to play and enjoy it but then worry that you might be keeping your neighbours up and stop
5. put away the laundry you folded yesterday
6. stick two little hooks on your door so you can hang sweaters worn for the day on your door instead of on that chair (you know… that chair)
7. dust each individual leaf of the plants in your room
8. sit on your bed and eat chocolate and drink cold tea (you forgot about the tea, you were obviously kinda busy)
9. think about writing and recording a song - don’t actually make the song (very important step) just think about it.
10. sit on the floor with your feet on the heater and type a list of what you did that evening disguised as an oddly specific advice column?

(repeat any of these steps as necessary)

please reply to this email by adding your own point of instructions (may be inspired by personal experience), thank you

what I've been listening to: Max mon amour (Musique du film de Nagisa Oshima) by Michel Portal

It's a soundtrack to a film I haven't seen and the album is basically seven renditions of the same composition (i think??) but I like it a lot and I love the cover image.

Goodbye!
