I spent most of the day at home, doing laundry and watching movies. I did, however, run a few errands, so it wasn't as if I stayed inside all day. But it was really warm outside, so I was glad to be indoors.

The day's high point was when my stimulate-the-economy check arrived. Within hours, it was in my bank account. Within days, it will be part of my monthly check to Discover Card. Thanks, federal government, for helping to subsidize my Broadway habit. Let's do it again next year!

Of course, next year, I probably won't be able to afford airfare to New York. Road trip, anyone?
