7. Called Belkin Customer Service
The man I was talking to asked me what the weather was like in New York and sounded quite hollow when describing the weather in India.
6. The New York Magazine Crossword
This was pretty easy, and I didn’t have to cheat once. Then again, it wasn’t the Times so I suppose I really have nothing to be proud of.
5. Folded My Tights Drawer
I’ve never done an official count, but I think I have over thirty pairs of tights. Now they are all folded, and I can close my drawer with a sharp kick.

My laundromat has free wi-fi, but instead of using it, I read and watched my clothes spin in the dryer in an infinite loop.
3. Beat the Final Level of Brick Breaker
The last level is actually a cakewalk compared to Level 16 “the dreaded U-shape.” When I won, I felt strangely empty inside.
2. Made a Complicated Lunch
By my standards, “complicated” means turning on the oven and opening the spice rack at least once. I also used silverware.
1. Talked to My Mother
We had an hour-and-a-half long conversation about the traffic she was in and the logistics of getting a mammogram.
