8am. Sam is sitting on the ottoman putting on his shoes just about to leave for work. "What is on your to-do list?"
My to-do list? I'll give you to-do list, I thought. "Be fabulous, I believe. Just be fabulous, that is all I have to achieve today, be fabulous," I said. "Being fabulous, as, I, speak."
Sam was just looking at me with "that" look, so I assumed he wanted more. (There seems to be an on-going dialogue about the, how shall we put it, the disparity of my 3 days and his 5 days)
"Oh, yes, and relax. Put your feet up. You have worked very hard over the last three days and you really deserve the next three days off. Relax, you deserve it. Enjoy."
Sam was still just looking at me, with no expression, he hadn't said a word. (Tough nut to crack, some mornings, my boyfriend)
More, I thought?
"And of course, the standard instruction, drink more coffee." I smiled. "Coffee is good for you." I sipped my coffee.
"I put some things on your schedule to ask the vet when you take Buddy to the vet this morning," said Sam. "I just wanted to make sure you had read them?"
"Oh," I said. "My schedule?" (Damn! I thought. I miscalculated that one)
Sam looked at me with lips of string.
"A hint?" I could feel my eyebrows rise.
"Your reminder list."
"And I would find that... (I knew where to find it, but I was beginning to enjoy the game) where?"
"Your phone." Exasperated look, mate.
"My phone," I said (like it was some great god damn revelation. "Of course."
I looked at Sam. Not even a scintilla of a smile. "My... phone." Big smile. "Good... to... know."
He kissed me and headed to the front door.
