My dude had a rough day. And I was initially sort of unsympathetic, because. Listen. I have done all of the preparations for Christmas, from figuring out the schedule to buying the gifts. All he’s done is deal with the cat.
Until he explained, that’s partly why he feels so crappy.
I sent him on an errand tonight, apologetic that I was even asking him to go do a thing, I knew he’d had such a bad day, he’d said he was all Anxious and full of The Dread, and he’d been stressed-out doing [all of his] last-minute shopping [for his sister, because I did almost all of it for his nephew because you can’t fuck that up, it’s his only goddamn nephew, we did that in mid-november] and he was like, no no! tell me what to do! that’s fine!
and as he was putting on his boots he was saying, in a goofy voice, “Put me in, coach! I can do it!”
and I was like, what?
And he gestured vaguely at where I’m ass-deep in half-finished projects, and he was like, “You’ve been busting your ass for months to the best of your ability to get all this shit done and I haven’t done jack.”
Oh.
Well, both of us feel better now.
