Sneaking in Some Illicit Housework

The closest I come to cheating on Gary is when I do chores behind his back. I remember when I repaired the toilet I hid the replacement flapper under the mattress.

This month I’ve been sneaking about repairing a water spot in the ceiling. He’s gone, I get out the ladder, I use the Killz, I time it so he’s gone long long enough that he can’t smell the Killz, it’s a whole assignation. Not some trashy one-night stand like the toilet repair.

Then I wait a week until he’s out of the house again, then I paint over the Killz, and try to get the paint color on the 35 year old ceiling to match, and that is frustrating, and I wonder if it’s worth it.

That’s done now, so this weekend is the last tryst with the water spot repair. Some acoustic texture cracked in the process and I have to get that patched up, and the that’s the last time I sneak around doing chores, I swear.
