I thought my day of gloom and despondency was behind me. I really did.
Then I turned the TV on and was confronted with Jack Black having a crack at being Gulliver (he of the Travels).
Ok, so he's made the odd film or two that were worth watching but, I mean Gulliver's Travels? Come on!
I managed eighteen minutes, give or take, and most of that was spent eating a hearty bowl of Sugar Puffs and reading yesterday's newspaper. I just had to change channels.
A few minutes spent channel zapping revealed (once again) that, despite the number of available channel being in excess of two hundred, there was nothing worthwhile watching.
I therefore entertained myself for an hour or so by racing through a book of Sudoku puzzles.
Yes, I know. I have very exciting days off, don't I!
By 11am my brain was in overdrive and, being fully awake and ready for action, I decided to tackle something that was of far more importance than watching TV or completing puzzles.
I opened the cupboard and pulled out the vacuum cleaner.
Yes, yes! Vacuuming is woman's work but, hey! If I want to maintain a fully functional body ... no breaks, no black eyes ... then it's best to do as 'she who must be obeyed' has ordained, right?
I'm sure that if I look hard enough there will be a list of other jobs that need doing.
I'm not going to look!
Not today.
I'll just hide when she get's home!
Oh, God!
I'm so bored!
Where's that list?
Ah, the never-ending list o' chores. And hey, I thought men liked chores that included the use of tools, i.e., the vacuum?! :-)

p.s. Sorry about Jack Black. The U.S. claims full responsibility but, of course, will not promise that it won't happen again.
Vacuuming sucks.
ReplyDeleteWell, not as bad as anything with Jack Black in it.
I know how you feel - I'm so ready to go back to work.
ReplyDeleteYes, when you are used to full days of toil these days off become unbearable dont they... so little to do and so much time to do it...(sigh)
