Just yesterday, he had told me that the floors would have to wait until the middle of the week, but now even he is starting to notice that the floor feels sticky underfoot.
I sweep every few days, usually when he has stepped outdoors. But it is not enough...those underfoot surfaces also need a regular scrub and polish.
Maiyuu appears to have missed last week's appointment with the mop, rag, or whatever he uses.
During the past week, my floor cleaner has done little but sleep, while I have done little but work, including two 12-hour days (double-shifts) at the office.
I want some extra money over Christmas and New Year, to make up for the end-of-year bonus which my company this year says it cannot afford to pay.
I decided to work overtime to make what the company would otherwise pay me as a bonus, so I can buy myself a new pair of prescription glasses.
‘How much can we afford to spend on my glasses?’ I asked.
‘That will depend on how much you make,’ said ever-practical Maiyuu.
The first of my overtime payments comes out tomorrow.

Thank you, Was Once. Yes, they are writing about the wrong couple. We are just as good-looking, sweet to each other, and innocent in our ways (not).
