Go for a “run.” Clarification: let your manservant run, while you perch atop his shoulders. You can also take inspiration from Yoda and ride on his back in this Chanel backpack. To burn extra calories wave your arms in the air like you just don’t care!

Totally Chanel.

Curl up on your entirely unyielding Biedermeier and write in your journal.

Shred your journal before the FBI finds any of the information in it and indicts you.

Make yourself some comfort food. A foie gras sandwich sounds nice, but so does truffle soup. You could have both. You “ran” earlier.

Watch your maid as she cleans. Roll up your sweatpant cuffs and help by pointing out all the place she’s missed! Don’t actually touch any dust under any circumstances. Pointing is helping.

Take your pet komodo dragon for a walk.

Watch The Hunger Games and wonder why the people in the Capitol are so misunderstood.
