My standard responses are somewhat different
1) I hauled 60 pounds of cola and 100 pounds of food ; I am tired now
2) I drank a glass too much , so I cannot legally drive now
3) I expect an email so I cannot leave the computer
4) You know that on top of the to do list is ..........(.take your pick )
an oil change for my car was on top for a pleasurable 9 weeks
5) I will do it tomorrow or another day
6) If everything else fails I tell her to "hire" the daughter of her best friend or the handyman
Basically I am only good at letting her spend money , nothing else whatsoever

and yet she loves me
