Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for June 19, 2023

true dat – same as my chores that never (and will never) end.

Laura would be out of a job in no time if she worked that way.

Sarcasm becomes her

Being awake is a chore for him.

He’s clueless to the real world!!

I hope those are wax oranges. Real oranges would have rotted long ago.

Are there any strips where fathers are NOT lazy, stupid morons??

Laura is definitely not impressed today with Adam.

Not to mention the over 2,000,000 cat videos on YouTube.

Two-do list.

I’m thinking the nap and coffee chores are a little bit mutually defeating, but whatever meets the deadlines and buys the groceries.

Coffee-themed comic strips are never funny, or original. Neither is this strip.

Well… you have to MAKE the coffee! That’s a chore.

And he is proud of it………

Well he does chores he’s happy with. But how can he consider drinking coffee a chore?

How can he drink that much coffee and still take naps?

Chores; making coffee, cutting piece of coffee cake, drinking, eating, whew…

And this right after Father’s Day. Great timing.

My distraction from what I am suppose to do is my husband. I plan to work (work-work) and instead we have to go to Lowes or Home Depot or Walmart – to look for something – which will involve going to multiple locations of the store and other stores … and having lunch out at Wendys (though to be honest since we have started going back out since Covid he is down to lunch at Wendys 3 days a week, before Covid it was our daily lunch and Saturday night dinner out).

We come home. I help him deal with what we (he) bought – including wiping most items down with alcohol due to ongoing Covid concerns (we are each high risk by 4 different factors and we do live in a township which for awhile near the beginning of Covid had more cases than 48 states and many other countries).

I then finally go upstairs to our office and turn on the computer. First have to deal with the mail. Then check email – must get 10-15 a day and usually 3 or 4 are not spam, but I do have check all my email addresses and I have different ones for 2 clubs, work, self, junk mail, a client of mine who does not have an email address, but does have an alarm co which will only bill by email, and so on. By then it is 4 pm, maybe 5 pm and I am first going to start working.

I have a client’s books here to finish up and do her business return for last year – and I can’t even get started. I keep hoping it will rain and he will also have something to do without me so I can the work done. Plus have to pay bills, do things for both clubs as am an officer of each, etc. I get started – and he calls that he needs help with something in his workshop or our tiny RV and then it is 7 pm and time to back up what little I did and start cooking dinner.
