After a really intense week, on Saturday my wife went out for the day and I did absolutely nothing even though I have a lot to do. I needed that.

We're taking an older, disabled relative out today to see the fall colors and for lunch. We visit her regularly but try to take her out every couple of weeks if the weather is good.

Sometimes we have to convince her to come along because she's set in her ways but she's always happy that she joined us in the end.
