Yesterday, we spent much of our time ensuring the floor was mopped, the carpets vacuumed, the laundry folded and put away, the kitchen tidied, and the food prepared in a timely manner, for we knew that we would have Excellent Company for dinner. Herself was quite cheerful about the whole day. Even a challenging telephone conference call for Work did not dampen her spirits. When she knows that some of her favorite people will be gracing her with their presence, she is galvanized into action.
Today, not so much. There is no adult company to be had. All is quiet.
Without the motivation of adult companionship and conversation, Herself lacks any incentive to tackle the household chores. There is no catalyst for activity. And so, very little is accomplished.
The Offspring and the pets do still need to be fed, though. I think we shall dig into the watermelon; even the dogs will enjoy a small slice. Perhaps after some fruit our outlook will change for the better.
