Get changed for the day. Plan to buy a new pair of boots for fall. Hang out bedsheets to dry.
Go to grocery store. Buy enough food for dinner tonight and tomorrow. Go to butcher get meat for dinner tomorrow. Look in a few shoe stores. Don’t find anything I like. Or what I do like is 300 Euros.
Go to another grocery store. Get some bread.
Go back to the apartment. No new shoes. Change into comfy clothes. Unpack groceries. Have a juice on the balcony.

Go to computer to look for recipe for tomorrow’s dinner.
Ponder what other 22-year-old girls are doing on their Saturday night.
At least you didn’t include “drink a whole bottle of wine by myself” in that. Then you’d know you were in trouble
That’s a good one. I should have included that at the end, just for the humor of it.
