Take my wife to work. (We are officially a one car family now)
Take my son-in-law to the river.
Get back in time to pick up my wife from work.
Somewhere in there: Go to the bank.
Go to Petco and get cat litter and some crickets for my pet gecko.
Go to the grocery store.
Do laundry from our weekend road trip.
Watch the season finale of THE LAST OF US that we missed last night.

Try not to strangle the auto-electrician who is requiring me to PAY UP FRONT before any work is done on my car 

[Alex]

Clear all my paperwork out.
Sit and wonder why I am even bothering to attend work when I have no work to do and even if I did, my ability to care has gone.

[ER]

Invent new ways to motivate my son to find any interest in math. So far open bribery has resulted in a facsimile of caring about it. Wonder if he'd get an A if I let him blow something up?

Get him playing D&D with all those shiny, clacky math rocks they throw to play.

[ER]

Alas he shows no interest in "sit down games" and is definitely an action-oriented type, happiest when exerting himself outdoors. He found attending school such a torture I let him go at home through an accredited academy starting a couple years ago, which has worked out much better. (My oldest, who wants to be a doctor, loves going to school---blah---and my youngest prefers it to home school.) Some subjects he likes and excels in, math he resists like a cat would a swimming pool. I don't believe in sticks so I'm having to get creative with my carrots.

[ER]

Replace the heater on our koi pond.

Deny my oldest's request to paint a second closet black.

Figure out why my headlights are still dimming after a new alternator was put in.

Make strawberry ice cream.
