Cook. I don’t mean just to get a meal on the table. I pour through cookbooks, pick out interesting recipes, and make 1-3 of them at one time, for fun. I also end up with a bunch of meals made up for me ahead of time. I tend to pick stuff that freezes well.
I listen to NPR while I cook.

Thanks all… Since my husband and I are about to try for a baby, it looks like I’ll be appreciating my last remaining days or gorging on TV and drinking with my friends.
