Monday, Monday

I always feel a bit 'off' on Mondays. I have the house to myself after sharing the week-end with Billy, I have the dog staring at me bored and ready for action, and I usually have a few work related things to do.

Not today.

It's a weird one! First of all, I had a dentist appointment at 8:30 this morning, and Billy is home today because he worked last Monday (the Civic Holiday). Is he going to treat it like a true day off and lounge on the couch, order in Chinese and generally behave in a sloth like manner? Or is going to be one of those semi or fully productive days off? See I feel the need to know because there are things that I could do today, (say if he decides to fix the electrical on the two lamps) or I could join him in laziness. (His is well deserved, mine, not so much).

Right now he's in the backyard cutting the grass. (A two hour event involving multiple gas powered devices necessary to accomplish the task.) But is he going to continue with 'to do' list? I know that he has a dentist appointment at 1:30, which I made a month ago not knowing that he would have today off. That really sits in the middle of the day.

So here I am, wondering if I should get started on a project, or is he going to finish up outside, go to his appointment, and come home asking why I'm not dressed to go golfing?

The thing is I hate to bug him. Maybe he plans on crossing some things off this 'invisible' list, but after his appointment he'll change his mind, and that's cool. He doesn't have too many days that provide him with flexibility in his decisions. For him to wing it is just fine with me, but...

So I wing it. I have a few things to do that won't take too long, and I can do while he is finishing up the grass and at the dentist. If he comes home and decides we should go golfing then that is great. I'm open. It is kind of nice to have him here and not have the entire day scheduled. (Well, except watching 'Hell's Kitchen' two hour finale sometime tonight - thanks to the DVR, we don't even have to have that scheduled.)

We'll see how today goes. It's like having a bonus week-end day. ;)
