- Washing laundry without paying with quarters. In a washing machine. In my house.
- Hanging said laundry on a clothesline. A clothesline, for pete’s sake.
- Gardening. I’ve got a small plot in the back with mustard greens, two types of kale, tatsoi, spinach, arugula (not looking so good), and mesclun greens.

- Jumping-jacks, of course.
