Her in-laws are coming over tonight, rather than tomorrow as expected. They are lovely people, there's no doubt. Nevertheless, Herself likes to plan everything out in advance. (This is probably why she is terrible at conversation, particularly on the telephone. She never knows quite how it is going to go.)
The house is relatively clean. She did not have time to cook anything, much to her dismay, but what she has on hand will have to do. They will be gracious and consume everything regardless.
She desperately needs a day alone to herself to tidy the house, to do the filing, to tackle the laundry,to accomplish all the little things without anyone interrupting or needing anything.
She sighs, and off she goes to hostess.
