Social Question

Jeruba's avatar

What are four of the next six things you're going to do (after answering this question)?

Asked by Jeruba (56032points) November 2nd, 2018

Just things. Like sending a text, pouring another cup of coffee, taking a shower, running an errand.

Four out of six just to allow room for discretion.

And—does answering this question change the answer? In other words, does stating your intention cause you to change your intention?

 
Tags as I wrote them: future, today, plans, intention, minutiae of life, quotidian. I list them like this sometimes because when I post a question my tags often get changed—misspelled, lowercased, even just dropped.

Commute home.
Take a nap.
Go for a run.
Go to a 12 step meeting.

Answering this doesn’t chaneg anything, it is pretty much how I spend every Friday afternoon.

Feed the dog.
Do some cooking.
Do some reading.
Talk on the phone with a friend in Montana.

Like @zenvelo, by this time of day on a Friday it’s a pretty same-o same-o thing.

Eat breadsticks.
Continue watching a talk show on television.
Rub myself (warm).
Hit the “Home” button, and check for new questions.

Watch with amusement at the lack of any GA given to my answer
Bite my lip & weep when the true feeling kicks in
Chastened by the experience, I shall probably vent to a member of staff
Play/pet my dog Buddy

Considering my first 3 in the list, then yeah, pretty much did change my answer :D

Get my IDs together for new driver’ license
Stop flagellating myself

(Pocket book was missing, presumed stolen today.)

Jeruba's avatar

Oh, no, Jan. I’m sorry. This happened to me once: someone broke into the house and stole my purse while I was out for the evening and carrying just a tiny evening bag. They got only $40 cash, but what they really stole from me was a whole lot of time—closing accounts, notifying services, replacing items such as wallet and lipstick, etc., not to mention replacing the broken window. Getting a new social security card was probably the biggest pain. I’d have handed somebody the $40 to avoid going through all that.

janbb's avatar

Yup. It’s a pain.

Patty_Melt's avatar

Take pain meds.
Take muscle relaxer.
Light a smoke.
Pat myself on the shoulder for placating @ucme with a GA.
Only the fourth results from this question.

filmfann's avatar

Turn off the tv and kindle
Try to sleep.
Give up, watch more tv.
Try again.

ucme's avatar

Cheers for that @Patty_Melt but without wishing to appear ungrateful, my post was merely a self deprecating, tongue in cheek affair. Lost on numerous occasions by the faux intellects, but hey :D

Put my breakfast plate in the sink, get dressed, pull my hair back in a ponytail, and leave the house.

No, this Q didn’t change my list. I have to get going, or my husband is going to start hassling me that we’re late.

• Get dressed
• Drive to my favorite local coffee shop
• Finish my commissioned portrait
• Meet up with friends at a brewery a few blocks over

Dutchess_III's avatar

Get up. Done.

Go to Ponca for the best pot roast and chicken fried chicken in the whole world!
Maybe go scout Kaw lake for camping sites for Thanksgiving week.

janbb's avatar

My pocket book was found by a friend!! Intact. Of course, I canceled my credit cards and accounts will need changing but I feel legit again! Yay!

Dutchess_III's avatar

We did not go to Ponca. Got a text from my son inviting me to come visit! We hadn’t seen the kids for several weeks. They were super duper excited to see us too!

Chocobunni's avatar

I’m feeling a little under the weather. Ill probably make another cup of tea, then spray some throat relief in my mouth. Then I’ll probably sit down, have a conversation housemate over a smoke, then probably lay back down in bed and check my phone

augustlan's avatar

Shut down this computer for the night
Get in bed
Take a bunch of medication
Read until sleep overtakes me
