010: I have ...

I circle the house, looking for something to do.

I have already played piano and guitar twice today. I have attempted the flute. I have eaten breakfast and lunch. I have drawn. I have read. I have watched YouTube-videos. I have listened to music. I have played with the dogs. I have cleaned the kitchen and my bedroom.

I have talked to my parents. I have talked to my sister. I have done yoga. I have talked to my friends. I have talked to the dogs. I have talked to the plants.

I have pondered the meaning of life and what comes after death. I have recited Shakespeare to my bookshelf. I have planned three writing projects in my head and watched them unfold with vivid clarity. I have watched the snow fall. I have learned to conjugate strong verbs in Old Norse (líta, leit, litu, litinn; skjóta, skaut, skutu, skotinn; fara, fór, fóru, farinn).

I have practiced four languages and worked on the fifth. I have composed musical pieces that sound exactly like other musical pieces. I have painted the Mona Lisa and created the prototype for human wings (how, you ask? I am a perfectionist, and they have not been perfected yet).

I have baked cakes and cupcakes, made cookies and biscuits, tea and coffee and hot chocolate and chai. I have eaten cream cheese straight from the box.

It is not even noon yet, and I have done it all.
