“I’m soaked!” I sighed scrubbing my feet on the welcome mat
as I entered home. My husband was already there, sipping on a cup of steaming
coffee as I looked for a towel to dry myself. He looked at me and gave me a
pitiful frown and sweetly asked if I wanted some coffee.
The rain today was unexpected, just like my day at work had
been. What I thought would be a relaxed Friday at work turned out to be hectic
and challenging. In the end, I was tired and left late from office missing my
spa appointment too. All I wanted to do now was soak myself in a hot bathtub
and lie there for an hour. Mais alas, we were to leave early the next
morning for a friend’s place in Lonavala. Before that, I had to take control of
the house. Man! This being a homemaker and working at the same time was taking
a toll on me. I just didn’t have the time to do anything for myself.
I made a mental list of the things I need to do- pack a bag,
make idlis to carry en route and wash the clothes. All this and it was
already time for dinner. We quickly packed our bag for the weekend, and I soaked
the idli dal keeping a check on the time. That’s when I broke down. I
was famished and still had to wash the clothes, which meant soaking them for at
least an hour. “Arghhh! Enough soaking for the day!” I grumbled aloud.
That’s when hubby came to the rescue. Like a TV commercial,
he brought out a pack of Surf Excel Matic, and held it in his hands, reading “The
new Surf Excel Matic has the power of ‘Vibrating Molecules’ to penetrate
deeply embedded stains & remove them effectively, so no soaking before
washing!” I smiled at him and hugged him, saying “What would I do without you?”
With the clothes washed in a jiffy, we quickly had dinner. I
relaxed in front of the TV, healing my aching feet in a bucket full of hot
water and sea salts. He suddenly looked at me and said, “I thought you didn’t want
any more soaking!” Yes, I threw a pillow at him :)
