I retired from my ‘day job’ and guess what—I still have to do my non-paid work every day at home. Cooking, cleaning, washing, grocery shopping, . . . I wonder when I’ll get to just sit around and do only what pleases me. Oh, and the honey do list? It mainly consists of things that he-who-is-retired never got around to doing before, because he didn’t have the time.
My house sets on a corner lot. I have 2 front yards that must be maintained. Watering system always needs repairing, lawns mowed, leaf raking, flowers replanting, roses trimmed, two fronts of the house spruced up, and on and on it goes.

I thought he was reading the list of his medications and their side effects.

When the pay is a hug from his honey, it is worth more than his old pay.

I hate this “honey do” trope, ugh. And here, it looks like a novel. Does the wife want him to do chores for everyone in town?

I thought it would be about Pluggers being forced into a minimum wage job when they don’t have a pension to fall back on.

Generally, the one thing about Honey-Do lists is the deadline lines are usually dictated by Mother Nature.

Yes there is a lot more to do for less money, but you can take a break (nap) whenever you want.
