Jan. Week 3: A Long Weekend-Monday

Monday arrived in a sun-struck haze, the entire neighborhood quiet save for the odd dog walker and the distant whirr of a lawnmower. Leah luxuriated in the rarest of luxuries—a scheduled day off that didn’t require makeup, a bra, or even a reason to leave the house if she didn't want to.

It was one of those rare moments where Leah actually managed to sleep in past Jonathan. In fact, when she finally woke up she noticed the time was nearly 10:20am. She thought it was a dream or that she had been in a fever state to have slept so late. She was shocked Jonathan hadn't woken him in his morning routines...though she was always the one up and out the door before him.

She probably needed the extra rest. Leah took a big yawn after she sat up in bed and thought about how to spend her free Monday--what was left of it at least. She felt like half the day had already slipped by.
