To go about someone's day

[besthost]

When someone tells me: 'go about your day', does it mean 'to do whatever you have to do along the day?

Hi, besthost!

The simple answer to your question is yes. A merchant might say, "Go about your day and I'll have your package ready for you by closing time." (Do what you have to do and your package will be ready by closing time.)

Cheers,

Put it in the oven before you go out, do what you normally do of a day, and when you come home...
