A load of laundry into the washer and then find myself a comfy spot on the couch. I think I'll read for a while. I know how to fool my family by appearing to have been busy all day while not really doing anything.
After just a few minutes, I find myself bored again… can't concentrate on anything! Oh, I know… Upstairs! I'll check my email. I've taken up to reading junk mail. I don't get a lot of personal emails regularly so I even revisit old messages. I should write people more often.
I've been dwindling for weeks. Whatever…
The usual spot by the window, laptop on lap, and a quick scan outside looking for signs of activity. Wait a minute… a drifter, suspicious. False alarm, he's stuffing fliers, probably an illegal.
My husband calls. He lets me know he is on his way home--early. He sounded so excited… as if I would be glad to hear from him. Do I really want him around this early? He's probably whistling his way thru traffic making plans for an afternoon "delight"-- as he calls it. Geez, that's all I need… I feel an onset of a headache.
I'm hyperventilating again… For someone who does hardly anything all day, I sure get stressed out over nothing. Ah... look! A lady, speed walking... Cool outfit… but a tan this early into the season?
This should be interesting, "Work from Home" pay only $39.95 and learn how to make $6,000 a month working only two hours a day. Hey a guy! On a bicycle… With a baby in tow… Cute! 1:30 in the afternoon on a weekday; doesn't anybody work?
How could I have missed this, Carl is about to pull into the driveway! I better get the clothes in the drier.
