Planning Her Day Off

I have four days off work, so I shall clean the garage the first day. On the second day, I will finish it. Unless I find something else that needs to be done more. I may do a little yard work. I want to prune my bushes. I have to take the dogs to the vet, and I have to deworm the cat. Sounds like a busy four days I tell her. She smiles and says “I am highly productive on my day off.” After the fact she calls me. Binge watched TV all four days. Didn’t clean the garage? I asked her. I opened it twice. Decided I would rather throw a match in there than clean it. Did you take the dogs to the vet? Not yet. Deworm? Don’t even ask me. Maybe you needed to not be so productive, I told her. Maybe you needed a break. “I think I did.”
