Phone calls. For some dumb reason it always takes me forever to get myself in a place to make phone calls, even though I know they will be simple and not nearly as terrible as my imagination makes them out to be. Sometimes I won’t even answer calls when i get them, unless I know…

Homemade pizza. I don’t do much cooking at all, but I am pretty good at making pizza. I make the dough from scratch and really enjoy it most of the time. It is a lot of work but totally worth it.
