Wrapped in a blanket, still wearing her comfy fluffy pajamas, cup of hot tea by her side, Samantha rested on the couch, more laying down than sitting. Phone in her hand, she was scrolling social media. She’d spent most of her day off relaxing, watching some TV, reading a book, just taking some time for herself.
When she checked the time, Samantha realized her husband Tim would be home soon. Tim hadn’t had any vacation days left and had to work while she spent the day relaxing at home. Samantha vaguely remembered she’d promised him dinner, but she didn’t want to get up and do the work. Knowing her husband, he wouldn’t mind take-out instead.
Scrolling on her phone, she ignored the basket of laundry she hadn’t carried down to the washer, the empty plates leftover from her lunch on the coffee table, and her shoes still on the floor where she’d taken them off the day before.
