Tidy

– Shouldn't you be packing or something?
– Sorry?
– If you're going home tomorrow. The end of the holiday, and all that.
– I suppose so. But it's late, and hard to drum up any enthusiasm.
– And will it be any easier tomorrow morning, when you realise that there is a mountain of work to be done and very little time to do it?
– Well, I am sure that the usual fight-or-flight survival instinct will kick in. In fact, it is probably best not to overthink these things and try to plan every minute detail, but simply go with the flow. As they say.
– I thought you prided yourself on being well organised and not leaving anything to chance?
– I know... But I am trying to cultivate a more relaxed, more happy-go-lucky persona; to be someone who just takes life as it comes. What's the worse that can happen?
– You'll still be defrosting the fridge tomorrow when it's time to leave the holiday house.
– I wasn't planning on defrosting the fridge.
– You'll be telling me next that you're not going to be shampooing the carpets.
– It's only a holiday home. I've only been here a week. Shampooing the carpets take forever.
– So better get started.
– Do you always shampoo the carpets at the end of a holiday?
– I just make sure I never step on them in the first place.
